An Unforgettable Elfin Lakes Guided Hike…

Our Elfin Lakes Guided Hike will give you gorgeous views of Mt Garibaldi and the volcanic pyramid of Atwell Peak! Not to mention breathtaking views of Howe Sound. 

You will meander through quiet alpine forests while enjoying views of endless mountains and valleys. This trail brings significant meaning to us as it was where we had our ‘Ah-ha’ moment that inspired the idea of BeWild Adventures & Wellness.

If traveling with us in the summer season, you’ll get to enjoy the expansive landscapes around the Elfin Lakes bathed in sunshine – there are scarcely any better places for enjoying the summer in BC!

However, if you plan on coming in winter, you’ll enjoy an equally atmospheric afternoon at the Elfin Lakes, when the mountains are blanketed in snow. Check out our Elfin Lakes Snowshoe Guided Hike to enjoy this experience in a winter wonderland.
