Garibaldi Provincial Park

Safety Bulletins: Be prepared for winter conditions in alpine areas. Expect snow on summer alpine trails, which will make route finding difficult. Snowshoes or skis and skins are required for winter travel in the park. As of December 2, 2016, the winter pole route to Elfin Lakes is in place. CAUTION: Access roads in winter – Please be advised that most access roads for Garibaldi Park are not plowed in winter months. Check our trail report for more details. Access to the park requires winter tires and snow chains in the winter months. Those travelling the road must be equipped and prepared for a self-rescue in case of an emergency. Warning: Thieves have been known to operate in the Rubble Creek and Elfin Lakes parking lots, targeting vehicles and personal property of park users. Be sure you remove all valuables from your vehicle prior to leaving it unattended, and leave unnecessary belongings at home. If you have any information regarding these incidents, please contact Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100. Avalanche and glacier hazards exist in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Only experienced groups who are practiced in crevasse rescue and who are properly equipped, should venture onto snowfields and glaciers. CAUTION: The Singing Pass Trail is hazardous in many sections.
