Whta an adventurous day at Garibaldi Lake❤️

#outdooradventure possible. It is indeed quite difficult for a day hike. If you think it is too long, you can consider camping overnight. The advantage is that you don't have to walk so much in a day, and you can also see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the lake when the light is softer. If I have the chance, I will do it again, but I will probably take the Helm Creek route at that time, which will be less crowded and slightly more challenging. In terms of equipment, hiking shoes are a must. The climate in BC is relatively stable in the summer, so a soft shell is enough. I wear the Arc'teryx gamma LT, which is perfect for this climate. If possible, it is best to bring a trekking pole, which is very helpful. If there is snow on the mountain, it is also best to prepare a pair of snow claws to prevent slipping and falling. Depending on the weather and personal situation, you can bring 2L-4L of water. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so mosquito repellent spray is also a must. BC is really beautiful in the summer. I have been unable to visit BC because of the expensive airfare and five-hour flight from Toronto, but now I want to spend every summer in BC in the future.
