Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC

Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC! Our first over night activity and only weeks into school! Two large charter buses arrived at our school around 7:45, and we left around 8:30. Arriving there Monday, coming home on Wednesday. The bus ride was fun, long, but fun. We arrived later at Garibaldi, around 30 min from whistler. Our trek up the side of the mountain was very hard, very steep, and very slow but we made it to the to the top and started setting up our tents and bring out our stoves and food for dinner. Our first night in the tent was a mess, it ended up snowing, bringing down our tent, soaking it, and since one of my amazing partners forgot a ground sheet, the bottom of our tent was soaked! Since it snowed, it was too dangerous to hike farther up the mountain to black tusk, or take pictures which where the main reasons why we were there!


Instead of going up the to the peak, we had to sit inside and do school work, fun.... We ate dinner again, had a snowball fight, which was very amusing. Instead of sleeping in our collapsed, and soaked tent we were aloud to sleep in one of the building, that at night were filled with mountain rats, and pica's, yay! It was a long night. In the morning we cleaned up, got packed and departed down the mountain. The pace of my group was insane, passing groups, and coming down the mountain at a jog the whole way coming out first. The bus ride was great having a seat with a bit of padding was heaven. Overall i had a great time and would do it again.
