CANADA'S BLUEST LAKE? — Garibaldi Lake Hike Near Vancouver BC

We hiked 18KM up Garibaldi Lake and it was so worth it!! What waited for us at the top was probably the nicest green-blue lake I have ever seen.

Garibaldi Lake is 9KM from parking lot to the summit (or 10KM from where you might have to park your car, as the video will show haha) so it's for slightly more experienced hikers. It could take 3 hours to get up.

But you will be rewarded with a beautiful sight. Garibaldi Lake is perhaps the nicest lake I've ever seen, and it has a background of snow-covered mountains that really sets the scene.

I'mportant note if you're hiking Garibaldi Lake: Best times to do it are July to September. Even in June, the lake might be frozen over up top. That doesn't mean you can't do it, but it will be a different scene when you get up there so plan ahead and pack warm layers if needed.

Hope you've enjoyed this hike, if you did, let me know in the comments! I'm always happy to hear from you.

As always, I'm Dan from The New Travel. Thanks for watching!
