Garibaldi Lake

I went on a hike during the end of Autumn to Garibaldi Lake. It's just off the Sea-to-Sky highway about 30 minutes before you hit Whistler. It was an amazing hike with vantage points and smaller lakes along the way. Lots of great pictures that day with some good friends!

The distinct feature about this lake is it's a bright turquoise especially during autumn! However, since we went as a day hike, we got there when the sun is still high and reflections were bright! We could see smaller sections of the lake that were in the shade and how beautifully turquoise it is! Alas, for most of our pictures the water just turned into reflections of the sky =(

It's not the easiest hike mind you and we spent a full day doing it! It took us about ~6 hours at least including breaks to hike 18km (9km one-way) and picture time (a good 3 hours hiking up and 2 hours hiking down) and boy were we sweating! Many switch backs to climb through and make sure your quads are ready for a work out! But in the end it was all worth it!

Middle of Nowhere

Ever get the feeling you're not really anywhere? You see the signs pointing to where you could go... but what about where you are right now? Is it a significant spot? Are you in between destinations? Are you following the right signs?


I'm going to be lazy and stop typing out image properties for now... Photos are posted on flickr and you can see it there or simply by right clicking and look at the image properties if you use Opera =p

Haro Haro!
