Garibaldi Lake Hike
I think you should definitely wear layers. The weather can change super quickly, and I got caught in a chilly wind halfway up – not fun at all!
My advice is to bring plenty of snacks and water. The hike is longer than it looks and I ran out of energy way too soon, which kinda ruined the experience.
Joffre Lakes
Don’t forget your camera but also put your phone away sometimes... Take in the beauty without the screen... I got some great pics but also missed just soaking it all in
I suggest arriving at the parking lot by 7 AM if you can. It fills up fast, and you want to snag a good spot to kick off your hike. Trust me, I learned the hard way!
Wapta Falls
Elfin Lakes
Wedgemount Lake
Emerald Lake Trail
Bring layers! The weather can change fast; one moment it's sunny, the next it's chilly and windy. I learned that the hard way and was freezing at one point!
I suggest hitting the trail early, like around 7 AM, to enjoy the peacefulness and avoid the crowds – trust me, the morning light on the lake is stunning!
Jug Island Beach Trail
Bring a swimsuit if you plan to chill at the beach after the hike. It’s super tempting to jump in that water!
I suggest wearing bug spray, especially in early summer. I got bitten more than I'd like to admit!
Stawamus Chief Trail
I recommend wearing good hiking shoes, as some sections can be slippery. I didn’t realize how steep it would get and ended up a bit sore after the hike!
If you're planning to do the full hike to the summit, think about taking the gondola down instead of hiking back. It saves your legs and gives you a different perspective of the area!
