The Experience
The 5.5-mile Garibaldi Lake Trail climbs 2,690 feet through gorgeous British Columbia scenery, passing alpine forest, wildflower meadows, and a lava dam before finishing with snowy mountain views. “You’re so remote and immersed in nature’s wonders,” Geissinger says. “After a visit here, your eyes will thank you.”

Stay Over
Garibaldi Lake offers camping for multiday trail-running excursions. The site hooks up with a larger trail system that winds through the natural paradise in Garibaldi Provincial Park.

Local Fare
Recover from the hilly miles with burgers and cold beer at The WaterShed Grill—a 25-minute drive from the trailhead.
