What's included in Photography & Advanced Hike to Turquois Lake & Glacier
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Considered one of the most scenic destinations in British Columbia, the turquoise-coloured Garibaldi Lake is nestled between alpine mountains and a spectacular glacier as the backdrop. However, this is a very long and steep hike and not for beginners. The tour includes 3 hours return transportation from your accommodation to the trail, an 18km (11 miles) return hike that climbs an altitude of 979m (2,937 feet) and takes 7 hours to complete, with plenty of breaks and photography lessons/tips and photoshoots at the top. You may also dare to take a dip in the freezing glacial lake.
