Garibaldi Neve

The Garibaldi Neve Traverse can be completed in both directions in 1-3 days. It connects multiple glaciers from the south end Diamond Head area to the north at Garibaldi Lake.

It begins with views of Atwell Peak just above the Red Heather Hut, ascending west and then north along a marked trail (BC PARKS) you reach the Elfin Lakes Shelter.

Spending the night at Elfin Lakes Shelter is a comfortable sleep with propane stoves, and spectacular views.
