"Garibaldi Park, named after its towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount
Garibaldi, was designated as a provincial park in 1927. In honour of
the 19th century Italian patriot, Giuseppe Garibaldi, the park is known
for its natural beauty and its endless hiking opportunities. Garibaldi
park’s rich geological history, diverse vegetation, snow-capped
mountain, iridescent waters, abundant wildlife and scenic vistas all
contribute to the immense beauty. The park is located to the east of
the Sea to Sky Highway between Squamish and Whistler, in the heart of
the Coast Mountains 70 kms north of Vancouver. Offering over 90 kms of
established hiking trails, Garibaldi park is a favourite year round
destination for outdoor enthusiasts." -
