Nature
Garibaldi Provincial Park, established in 1920 on British Columbia’s coastal mainland, protects a vast section of the Garibaldi Range with mountains, lakes, glaciers, forests, meadows, and volcanic landforms. Long significant to Indigenous peoples, it includes places central to Squamish and Lil'wat tradition, including Mount Garibaldi and The Black Tusk. Early twentieth-century climbing and mountaineering helped spur its protection, while its western side became a major recreation area. The park also contains notable hazards, especially The Barrier, whose partial failure in 1855–56 caused a massive landslide. Today it is both a heavily visited alpine park and a landscape where glaciers have sharply receded.
