🇨🇦 Hidden Alpine Gem | Semaphore Lake Hike 🏔️✨

Need a short-but-sweet alpine escape? Semaphore Lake delivers three lakes, snowy peaks, and epic views—just 6km round trip from the trailhead! 🥾 Trail Truths: • Drive: 3.5hrs from Van (4x4 recommended for the bumpy FSR). • Hike: 400m elevation gain—steep start, then all reward. • Perks: • 3 lakes + snowmelt waterfalls. • Minimal bugs/mud (rare for BC!). • Cons: • Far from city. • Weather changes fast (pack layers!). 📸 Photo Ops: • Lake #1: Mirror-like reflections at dawn. • Ridge Views: Panoramic Coast Mountain drama. 📍 Semaphore Lake Trail (Near Pemberton) 🏔️ Would YOU drive 3.5hrs for this?
