Valhalla Provincial Park

Activity: Backpacking
Rating: Moderate
This trip takes you to some seriously cool mountains in BC. We hike a lot and climb some big peaks with awesome views, especially Gimli and Lucifer—they're high and really pointy. The lakes are super pretty too, like, clear blue water and nice spots to chill. It’s kind of hard sometimes but totally worth it if you like nature and being away from everything.
