Garibaldi Provincial Park – Elfin Lakes Trail

Garibaldi Provincial Park – Elfin Lakes Trail

Garibaldi Provincial Park is truly spectacular! I already wrote about our adventure to Watersprite Lake, but to continue the fairy-hike theme, this time we hiked along the Elfin Lakes trail. This is now easily my favourite hike. Watersprite lake still has my favourite view, but the thing about the Elfin Lakes trail, is the stunning mountain views just keep coming!

Squamish Hikes – Watersprite Lake

I have found a new favourite hike!! The walk up to Watersprite Lake near Squamish is simply perfect! I can totally see why the lake has such a fairy-like name; It is ridiculously beautiful, so it really does feel like you’ve arrived in a bright-blue, watery fairyland. In addition to the epic views at the end of the walk, your eyes will be treated to stunning vistas for the entire hike. There are perfect views of Mount Garibaldi, over to Squamish…
