Hike to Base Camp

This was our big camping trip. We went on a hike in the mountains, and the trek was far enough that we had to take it in two stages. On the first day we hiked up from the highway to the campsite at Garibaldi Lake.


This is a geological feature called the Barrier. It's a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy the wildlife.



The chipmunks were tame and friendly.



They ate out of our hands.



They weren't so happy to see the bag of treats being put away. That's when this one stopped being friendly and gave Candis a little bite on the finger.



Lesser Garibaldi Lake. Nearly there!

Another bear warning. We had to keep all our food and utensils in the cooking shelter.
