Title: Elfin Lakes
Post by: DragonSpeed on August 27, 2013, 01:24:02 PM
We were up in the Diamond Head area of Garibaldi Provincial Park for 4 day/3 nights last week. The alpine scenery was amazing.  Here are some highlights of the hike.

1. Mount Atwell and the Gargoyles

That whole area is amazing for scenery.  Ever been to Mamquam Lake?  It's also a great destination with good fishing as well.

Great pics as always!

Very nice. I really like the moonset.
I mountain biked up that hill many years back with some buddies - it was quite an experience.

Thanks - the Hike to Mamquam looks like it would be hard with a pack.  We did the day hike to Opal cone while we were there.

I met a couple of guys that took 1hr15min to go up!  They arrived just in time for the moonrise on the Tuesday and were going to head back down... crazy!
