Brandywine Falls National Park is a great place to picnic, hike, camp and view a very dramatic waterfall. A walking trail leads from the park’s parking lot to a platform at the top of Brandywine Falls where you can watch the falls plunge 230 feet into a sculpted bowl. You can also enjoy serene views of Daisy Lake.
Nairn Falls offers an amazing example of the erosive power of water. The Green River flows through the park, carving its way through a mass of granite at the base of Mount Currie. Emerging from a crack in the granite, booming whitewaters drop almost 200 feet at Nairn Falls. A viewing platform, reached by a short hike from the parking lot, provides dazzling vistas.
Garibaldi Mountain is made up of almost 480,000 acres of undeveloped backcountry, meadows, lakes, rivers, mountain glaciers and volcanic terrain. Visitors can hike or backpack on well-developed trails, which take anywhere from a few hours to several days. You'll share the park with a variety of wildlife such as marmots, squirrels and chipmunks, and birders can watch for Canadian Jays, Flickers and even a Golden Eagle or Ptarmigan.
