About Lindeman Lake
Linedeman Lake is a gorgeous, turquoise lake surrounded by dense forest and mountain peaks. A short, moderate and very scenic hike of 3.4km will take you to Lindeman Lake. Lindeman is a fantastic day-hiking location and is much less crowded than more well-know hikes such as Joffre Lakes and Garibaldi Lake.
After reaching the Post Creek parking lot by bus, you will start your hike by following a wide path down. You will quickly come to a junction. There is a marker here. Keep straight on the trail marked for Lindeman Lake. The trail starts to drop down and reaches Post Creek that both feeds and drains from Lindeman Lake. Post Creek will remain on your left as you hike up the trail. The trail then enters the forest and becomes a bit more technical. This hike is rated "moderate" and requires a good level of fitness. Soon you will cross over an impressive log bridge. ontinue on the trail until you reach Lindeman Lake.
Once you reach Lindeman Lake, you will find an open area along the south shore and plenty of space to enjoy a snack on the edge of the inviting water. Fishing and swimming are popular activities at Lindeman Lake. Some brave souls will take a dip in the water, but will soon discover the frigid temperature of the water.
You will need about 2.5 hours to complete this hike. This will include a break at the lake where you can picnic, dare to take a dip in the lake, or just sit and admire the view.
About the Othello Tunnels
The Othello Tunnels is unlike anything you have ever seen. The Othello Tunnels are a great little hike near the town of Hope, British Columbia. Located along the Coquihalla River in Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, the short trail follows a section of the abandoned railbed of the Kettle Valley Railway. The walk takes you through 5 tunnels and along beautiful sections of the Coquihalla River.
In the early 1900's, the Canadian Pacific Railway decided to connect the southern coast of BC with the Kootenays and the best route was through the Coquihalla Gorge. Today the route is no longer in use and the railway tracks have been removed.
About Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful and iconic waterfall in the Fraser Valley. A short walk will take you to a waterfall that cascades down the rocks from 60 meters above. The name of the park comes from the waterfall as it's smooth rock is said to create a "veil like" effect from the falling water.

The Garibaldi Lake Hike should be on everybody's to do list. Situated in the Garibaldi Provincial Park, the hike to Garibaldi Lake is one of British Columbia's most beautiful. This day hike will take you to a stunning, glacier-fed lake that sits 1,450m above sea level, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, glacial laden peaks, alpine meadows and volcanic structures.

From the Rubble Creek parking lot, it is a 9 km hike to reach Garibaldi Lake. The first 6km takes you on a switchback mountain trail through forest and plentiful of Western and Red Cedar and Douglas Fir trees. Around the 30 minute mark from the start, there is a creek crossing where you can fill your water bottles. Water along the way is not plentiful, so make sure that you carry enough water with you. The next hour and a half is a rather relentless uphill climb on the switchback trail.
After counting down five gruelling kilometres, you will reach a lookout point over The Barrier. The Barrier is a lava dam that contains the Garibaldi Lake system. A sheer cliff is the result of a massive landslide that happened in 1885. Just beyond the 6km marker, you will find a junction that allows you to either go to the Taylor Meadows campground or Garibaldi Lake. This is a good point to take a break. Keep right at the 6km junction and follow the trail towards Garibaldi Lake. At this point, most of the elevation gain will be behind you. During you final 3km towards Garibaldi Lake, you will pass Barrier Lake and Lesser Garibaldi Lake. These lakes are providing a taste of what is to come.
A few small creeks, feeding into Lesser Garibaldi Lake, crisscross the trail along the way to Garibaldi Lake. After you have passed Lesser Garibaldi Lake, you'll cross a wooden bridge over Taylor Creek. After 20 minutes, you will come to another junction that leads to either Taylor Meadows or Garibaldi Lake. Stay on the trail for Garibaldi Lake. You will start descending towards Garibaldi Lake. A spectacular view of the pristine turquoise Garibaldi Lake and Sphinx glacier awaits you.
Start making your way down towards the parking lot so the you will be in time for our departure at 17:00pm. You will arrive back in Vancouver around 18:30pm filled with unforgettable memories!

About Phantom Lake
Phantom lake is a dazzling turquoise-colored glacial lake hanging high in the Coast Mountains.

When you fly past it, you'll feel like you are in a movie!

About the Joffre Lakes Hike
The Joffre Lakes Hike should be on everybody's to do list. Joffre Lakes is one of British Columbia's most beautiful hikes and is a relatively moderate hike compared to other alpine lakes in the region. The hike passes three exquisite lakes with turquoise blue water. LIVV Adventures offer a very affordable and convenient return transportation service on select weekdays and weekends, making this hike accessible from Whistler. Board one of our luxury air-conditioned buses in Whistler and join a group of like-minded people who are yearning to experience one of the many hidden gems that British Columbia has to offer.
The first lake, Lower Joffre Lake, is located minutes from the parking lot. The views are stunning and on a clear day, Matier Glacier can be seen hanging high above. From Lower Joffre Lake, begin your hike to Middle and Upper Joffre Lakes. You will first cross a bridge, whereafter you will follow the trail along the edge of the lake. Soon after, the trail starts climbing through forested areas. After about 20mins on the trail, a clearing allows for sweeping views over the valley.
After crossing the Joffre Creek, a couple of switchbacks will take you towards Middle Joffre Lake. At the viewpoint of the second lake, you will notice the majestic glacier-laden peaks towering above you. Continue hiking towards Upper Joffre Lake and pass a scenic waterfall. After a walk along the lake, you will reach a viewpoint overlooking all three lakes, with the glacier in the background. Take pictures, soak up the scenery and have lunch in one of British Columbia's most scenic spots. Hear the rumble of ice breaking off the glacier and tumbling down the rocky slopes towards the lake.
Start making your way down towards the parking lot so the you will be in time for our departure at 15:45pm. You will arrive back in Whistler around 17:00pm filled with unforgettable memories!
