At the end of August Leo went on a backpacking trip to Garibaldi with his friend Mark and Mark's two sons.
On their way to the park they stopped in Pemberton where they spotted this black bear strolling through the residential district.
The locals didn't seem very concerned.
They camped at Nairn Falls and the next morning they hiked up to the backcountry campground at Garibaldi Lake.
There are 50 campsites at the lake, all occupied, plus day hikers so you can imagine how busy it was though these photos make it look like they have the lake all to themselves.
The next morning they hiked up to Black Tusk.
Leo and Mark stopped at this saddle while Tristan and Kai continued on up. They didn't go all the way to the top because they were told that people above were making rocks fall down onto people below.
Nice views all around.
Here's Kai below the Tusk.
Leo and Mark were very proud to have kept up with the youngsters. And thinking of ways to reduce the weight in their backpacks for the next trip!
