Itching to get out of the city again the boys decided to take a Friday night off drinking to get an early start Saturday. With coffees in hand Alex, Cormac, Mike and I were on our way to Elfin Lakes in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Just over an hour later we were at the trail head with back packs on ready to roll. There wasn’t much to look at the first half of the hike but it soon opened up to great views of Mt. Garibaldi.
We eventually got to Elfin Lakes and set up camp on one of the wooden platforms.
With some extra gas in the tank we continued on to Opal Cone to get a great view of the glaciers.
After the long hike back it was time to dip into the beer rations for the night and enjoy a swim in the lake.
The next day we woke up and enjoyed breakfast with one of the best views nature has to offer.
After breakfast we hiked up to The Gargoyles these great lava formations above Elfin Lakes.
On our way down we shared the trail with a black bear but luckily it was more interested in the foliage than 4 handsome young men.
We packed up our gear and it was time to say goodbye to another great weekend spent in the British Columbia back-country.
Until next time!
