Iceberg Lake – Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC

Iceberg Lake is a stunning alpine gem tucked into Garibaldi Provincial Park, offering dramatic views of its namesake floating ice chunks set against rugged mountain backdrops. This high alpine bowl is a rewarding destination for both day hikers and overnight campers seeking glacier-fed beauty.

Whether you're pushing for a day hike or carrying gear for the night, the crystalline blue waters dotted with ice make every step worthwhile. The lakeshore is a blue-ice dreamscape - bring your camera! 📸

🐻Warning: This is a known grizzly area, so please read reviews, bring bear spray, hike in a large group and be loud!

To get there, start at the Diamond Head Trailhead near the Taylor Meadows area off the Cheakamus Lake Forest Road. Expect steep switchbacks through sub-alpine forest before the trail opens into alpine meadows and then the final ridge approach to the lake. The last section includes some rocky scramble and boulder-hopping—hiking poles are recommended for stability, especially when crossing meltwater streams.
