Description:

Copied from the internet:

"Wedgemount Lake, located in Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler, is one of the most beautiful day-hikes in Southwest B.C. It is also one of the most difficult.

The trail is well-marked and maintained, but climbs at an unrelenting pace from the trailhead to the top.

Wedgemount Lake is an unbelievable turquoise colour and is surrounded by snow-capped, granite peaks. Just beyond the lake, and just as impressive, sits the Wedgemount Glacier."

Stats from AllTrails: 15.5 km, 1500m elevation (meaning it' very steep and you'll probably question your life choices at some point).

This will make a long day so I'm open to making this an overnight hike with camping at the lake, depending on what people want. My car will not make it to the trailhead so if there is no other driver then we need to add 2km (one way) and 200m of elevation for walking on the forest service road.
