Wedgemount Lake
Wedgemount Lake is a peaceful turquoise-coloured alpine lake tucked under Wedge Mountain, Parkhurst Mountain, Rethel Mountain, and Mount Weart. Meltwater from Wedgemount Glacier and Armchair Glacier feeds the lake, whereas Wedgemount Creek is the outflow from the lake. The hike to Wedgemount Lake is one of the most difficult in Garibaldi Provincial Park, with an elevation gain of more than 1100 meters in just 7km. However, the spectacular alpine scenery makes the gruelling trek well worth it. Before leaving, make sure you've packed plenty of water as well as a jacket. Temperatures can surprisingly be very cool at the top even on the warmest days in mid-summer. (Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada)
