The Most BEAUUUUUTYFUL Day of My Life–Part I

VaCa day 6–Hiking in BC

Even without “camping reservations”(refer to THIS POST if you do not get this j-o-k-e) we snagged a parking spot –which generally ensures a campsite–+ headed UP UP UP 5.5 miles of 97.8% switch backs with an elevation gain of 3020 feet to Garibaldi lake.

We accomplished the gorgey task in a little under 3 hours–including a little side stepping to take in some views!!

I only saw one of these flowers the whole trip–but I fell in love with it!! SO. GORGEY.

These little guys were all over the place.

So were these BIG guys. EVERYWHERE. I mean EVERYWHERE.

If you weren’t in the tent or booking it you were being gnawed alive.

After hours on the trail filled with baby waterfalls + gorgey lakes we arrived at GARIBALDI LAKE!!

The most beautiful lunch I’ve ever had–scenery that is.

This BIRD seriously was a TRAINED KILLER.

He flew directly at my face (mm away from my nose) “asking for food”–He freaked me out–So I threw some bread at him and fled the scene!!

The mosquitos were very vampire like + would drain you of your entire blood supply if you weren’t in a sheltered area–So we took a little snoozer in the tent.

We woke up at 4 with an itch to to exploring which lead us to ——- the next post!!

                  I’m so glad you went up to Garbaldi Lake. It is beyond beautiful up there,with that blue glacier fed water and all. Love! I just realized I haven’t been up there since I was like,14 or 15! Lame. I will have to convince someone to hike up there with me again,this time with a camera.
