  • Barrier Lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park, in the Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada. Garibaldi Park is east of the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) between Squamish and Whistler. Barrier Lake was dammed naturally 9000 years ago by lava flowing from a vent called Clinker Peak (on the west shoulder of Mount Price) towards Cheakamus River valley. Back then, the valley was filled by glacial ice which stopped and impounded the lava flow into what is now called the Barrier. Melting of the glacier revealed the precipitous ice-cooled lava cliff of the Barrier which ponded water behind, forming the Garibaldi Lake system. The unstable Barrier has unleashed several debris flows, most recently in 1855-1856 forming the large boulder field along Rubble Creek. After British Columbia declared the area below unsafe for human habitation in 1981, the small resort village of Garibaldi was evacuated and relocated. Potential collapse of the Barrier would unleash Garibaldi Lake into a devastating flood of the Cheakamus and Squamish Rivers seriously damaging the town of Squamish and possibly releasing an impact-wave on the waters of Howe Sound that could reach Vancouver Island.

  • From Panorama Ridge, admire the vibrant turquoise color of Garibaldi Lake, which comes from glacial flour suspended in meltwater from Sphinx and Sentinel Glaciers. Above the lake rises Mount Garibaldi (2678 m or 8786 ft), a potentially active stratovolcano in Garibaldi Provincial Park, east of the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) between Squamish and Whistler, in the Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada. Below Mount Garibaldi are Table Mountain and Warren Glacier. Mount Garibaldi began erupting and growing steadily since 250,000 years ago and is the only major Pleistocene age volcano in North America known to have formed on top of a glacier. Although part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt within the Cascade Volcanic Arc, it is not considered part of the Cascade Range. The unusually-flat Table Mountain formed just 12,000 years ago from a lava eruption underneath a glacier! Regarding global warming and climate change: from the early 1700s to 2005, half (51%) of the glacial ice cover of Garibaldi Provincial Park melted away (reference: Koch et al. 2008, web.unbc.ca).

  • The volcanic pinnacle of Black Tusk (2319 m or 7608 ft) rises above Mimulus Lake (on far left), turquoise Black Tusk Lake, and Helm Lake, seen from Panorama Ridge Trail. The Black Tusk is a remnant of an extinct andesitic stratovolcano which formed 1.3-1.1 million years ago: after long glacial erosion, renewed volcanism 170,000 years ago made the lava flow and dome forming the tooth-shaped summit. The top of Panorama Ridge is 17 miles round trip with 5100 feet gain from Rubble Creek parking lot (or 6 miles/10k RT with 2066 ft/630m gain from either Taylor Meadows or Garibaldi Lake Backcountry Campground).

  • The Barrier is an unstable lava dam retaining the Garibaldi Lake system in Garibaldi Provincial Park, the Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada. Garibaldi Park is east of the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) between Squamish and Whistler. The Barrier was formed 9000 years ago when lava flowed from a vent called Clinker Peak (on the west shoulder of Mount Price) towards Cheakamus River valley. Back then, the valley was filled by glacial ice which stopped and impounded the lava flow. Melting of the glacier revealed the precipitous ice-cooled lava cliff which ponded water behind, forming Garibaldi Lake. The unstable Barrier has unleashed several debris flows, most recently in 1855-1856 forming the large boulder field along Rubble Creek. After British Columbia declared the area below unsafe for human habitation in 1981, the small resort village of Garibaldi was evacuated and relocated. Potential collapse of the Barrier would unleash Garibaldi Lake into a devastating flood of the Cheakamus and Squamish Rivers seriously damaging the town of Squamish and possibly releasing an impact-wave on the waters of Howe Sound that could reach Vancouver Island.

  • Mount Garibaldi (2678 m or 8786 ft) is a potentially active stratovolcano in Garibaldi Provincial Park, east of the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) between Squamish and Whistler, in the Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada. Below Mount Garibaldi are Table Mountain and Warren Glacier. Mount Garibaldi began erupting and growing steadily since 250,000 years ago and is the only major Pleistocene age volcano in North America known to have formed on top of a glacier. Although part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt within the Cascade Volcanic Arc, it is not considered part of the Cascade Range. The unusually-flat Table Mountain formed just 12,000 years ago from a lava eruption underneath a glacier! Regarding global warming and climate change: from the early 1700s to 2005, half (51%) of the glacial ice cover of Garibaldi Provincial Park melted away (reference: Koch et al. 2008, web.unbc.ca). The record of 1900s glacier fluctuations in Garibaldi Park is similar to that in southern Europe, South America, and New Zealand, suggesting a common, global climatic cause.

A hiking loop to Garibaldi Lake via Taylor Meadows Campground is 11 miles (18k) round trip, with 3010 ft (850m) gain. Panorama Ridge is 6 miles (10k) RT with 2066 ft (630m) gain from either Taylor Meadows or Garibaldi Lake Campground (or 17 miles RT with 5100 ft gain from Rubble Creek parking lot). Global warming/climate change: The Helm Glacier had an area of 4.3 square kilometers in 1928, but declined by 78% to 0.92 square kilometers as of 2009. The Helm Glacier's melting trend mirrors that of all glaciers in the Pacific Northwest and fits into the pattern of glacier retreat across Canada (measured in the Canadian Glacier Retreat Index). From the early 1700s to 2005, half (51%) of the glacial ice cover of Garibaldi Provincial Park melted away (reference: Koch et al. 2008, web.unbc.ca).
