🇨🇦 The Hidden Gem of Garibaldi | Mount Price Adventure 🌋

While crowds flock to Panorama Ridge, savvy hikers know: Mount Price offers equally epic views with zero traffic—just you, volcanic landscapes, and Garibaldi Lake’s turquoise glow. 🗺️ Route Breakdown 📍 Start: Rubble Creek Trailhead (same as PR). 📏 Distance: ~30km round trip (10-12 hours). 🧗 Difficulty: Moderate-hard—loose scree, route-finding, but worth every step. 🔍 Key Turns: 1. At 6km, fork left toward Garibaldi Lake (not PR!). 2. After lakeside campsites, hug the shore until a sneaky right turn into the woods (AllTrails offline map essential!). ✨ Why Choose Price Over PR? • Solitude: You’ll own the summit. • Nonstop Lake Views: Panorama Ridge teases you; Price delivers from mile one. • Volcanic Drama: Scramble over bubbly lava rock (geology lesson included!). ⚠️ Heads Up: The final climb is loose, crumbly scree—slow and steady wins! 📸 Photo Ops • Golden Hour: Sunset paints the lake electric blue. • Volcanic Textures: Pumice fields = Mars vibes. 📍 Mount Price (Garibaldi Provincial Park) #HikeBC #SkipTheCrowds #VolcanicViews #GaribaldiSecrets #EpicDayHike #VanHikers
