Garibaldi Lake is a turquoise-coloured alpine lake in British Columbia, Canada, located 37 km (23 mi) north of Squamish and 19 km (12 mi) south of Whistler. The lake lies within Garibaldi Provincial Park, which features mountains, glaciers, trails, forests, flowers, meadows, waterfalls. The park is a wildlife protected area.
Taylor Meadows is a very scenic campsite and great alternative to the much busier and more well known, Garibaldi Lake campsite. Located in Garibaldi Provincial Park between Garibaldi Lake and Black Tusk, Taylor Meadows is best hiked to from the same trailhead as Garibaldi Lake at Rubble Creek. There are 40 tent platforms, toilets, a good water source and food cache, all in the lush forest of Taylor Meadows with great views of Black Tusk.
Squamish is a town north of Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada. It's at the northern tip of the island-dotted Howe Sound, and surrounded by mountains like the Stawamus Chief, a huge granite monolith. The Sea to Sky Gondola has views of the sound and nearby Shannon Falls, a towering waterfall cascading down a series of cliffs. The Britannia Mine Museum has underground train tours. Bike trails criss-cross the area.
"Today Katy took us to Panorama Ridge and Garibaldi Lake, a crown jewel in the Garibaldi Provincial Park with an amazing color and breathtaking views and landscape. It was a 18-mile hike with an elevation gain of 4,250 ft. It was so worth it.
Lava from Price Mountain created a dam allowing deep Lake Garibaldi to form. Subsequent erosion, especially by glaciers which still persist at higher altitudes, has sculpted the peaks, notably Black Tusk, and gouged the valleys, leaving a landscape of spectacular rugged beauty.
Garibaldi Lake lies in a deep subalpine basin, with its surface at nearly 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level and a depth exceeding 250 m (820 ft).
Garibaldi Lake is so blue due to the glacial sediment also known as rock flour which runs off the glaciers. When this run off enters the lake, the sediment remains suspended by water. The sediment then refracts the sunlight which enters the lake, reflecting only blue in return."
I used some photos and comments from Lingyu Lyz Zhang's and Katherine Christie's photos they shared FaceBook and Google photos. Katherine Christie led this hiking and thank her!
