This weekend I took my Dad, Michelle, and my sister up to Garibaldi with hopes of getting to the Panorama ridge. Even though I had hiked it the weekend before with 50lbs it was quite a long hike for everyone and the weather and daylight defeated us.
We had fun and got some good pics but next time I think we’ll need to leave earlier or camp overnight.
Ryan & Rebecca, Dave and I hiked up to Garibaldi via Helm creek and camped overnight. We got quite a late start to the hike and it was much slower going that we thought with our heavy packs.
It rained on us while hiking and by the time we setup camp and reached Cinder Flats it was poring rain and very windy. The weather defeated us.
Dave and I hiked into the Lynn Valley and went up to Nor Van Falls. It wasn’t an huge hike but it was a fairly long day.
Hiked up to the Diez Vistas and around Buntzen Lake today, did a bit of geo-caching along the vistas and found several of them.
Fishing was so-so today at Duffy Lake, man it was scorching hot weather!
Hiked the Chief today to the 3rd peak… Was a bit cloudy but still worked up quite a sweat.
We ventured into Garibaldi Park for the first time on the Labor Day long weekend, it was quite a trip. First we were told that the lake campground was full and we should turn back. We didn’t and pressed onward to the Taylor Meadows campsite. By the time we reached the campsite we were toast. We camped and early the next morning we ventured to the top of the tusk. What a view!
