The group prepares to go to MEC before heading to Squamish.

Everyone gets ready for the day of hiking.

Mad shows off her new hat as Sol looks on

Anna and Maryanne take a breather

One of two spectacular lakes you go by en-route to Garibaldi Lake. Is the picture up-side down?

Anna, Maryanne and Mad make a tough river crossing

The chosen tent of the trip was the MEC Turn. 3 are shown in this picture, with their compliment of heavy frost.

Mad, just exiting from her state of hibernation, is beautifully complimented by the sun, snow covered mountains, Garibaldi lake, and her tent. I think this picture rocks.

After sleeping in sub-zero temperatures, we go for the peak of Black Tusk. This is a picture of Jason with Garibaldi Lake (where we camped) in the background

A group shot near the summit of Black Tusk

After having lunch near the summit, we head down

Sol, Mad and Mike (in distance) run through the snow

Sol, Anna and Mad pause at the end of the trail (the summit is past the end of the trail)

Jason the conquerer. (note: the linked picture is extra large)

Going downhill to the parking lot

Mad's tent is visible (the yellow dot) amongst the beauty of Garibaldi Lake

Re-grouping at the cook-shelter before heading for the parking lot.
