Elfin Lakes

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.

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!
