Whistler BC Backpack and hut camping
Details
Garibaldi Provincial Park has arguably the most beautiful hiking trails in all of British Columbia. This adventure will take us to quite a few beautiful alpine lakes in the Backcomb and Whistler Mountains.
Rough itinerary as followed:
Day 1 (8/9): Drive up to Whistler and camp.
Day 2 (8/10): Drop one car at the finishing TH (Singing Pass TH) then go back to start the hike from Rubble Creek TH. Camp at Cheakamus Lake CG. About 16 miles and 4k of gain
Day 3 (8/11): Hike from Cheakamus Lake to Russet Lake. Camp at Russet Lake. About 16 miles and 3.4k of gain
Day 4 (8/12): Hike out from Russet Lake, pick up cars then drive to Diamond Head TH, hike to Elfin Lake Shelter. About 11 miles and 2.2k of gain.
Day 5 (8/13): Hike out from Elfin Lake Shelter, pick up the car, drive to Watersprite Lake TH and hike to Watersprite Cabin. About 11 miles and 2.5k of gain.
Day 6 (8/14): Hike out to Watersprite Lake TH and drive home.
If people feel like it, I'll be open to hike up to Park Butte Lookout in the N Cascade NP on our way home and arrive home on 8/15.
I have secured permits/shelter space for 6 people for Night 2~4. Still need to book Watersprite Cabin when it's available in June.
