Silverhorn Creek Campground
Rustic campsites in a gorgeous location. Outhouses only. No water, no power, no sani-dump. Weather changes quickly. Can get really cold overnight even in the middle of summer. Snow, hail and rainstorms common as well. Also, watch out for bears.
Geraldine Lakes trailhead
We hiked to the second (third?) lake and back. 7 hours total time with 600+ metres of elevation gain (and descent of course on the way back down).
The trial starts off innocently enough - maintained trail, gentle slope, easy route finding but lots of mud and roots. Stays like this for about 2 km to the first lake. Then the trail skirts the lake over some rocky and less well maintained trail for about another km until it veers left at the end of the first lake.
The easy part is now over. The trail now climbs straight up past the first waterfall. You can navigate through the rock fields on the right to avoid the scramble through the bush but there are no trail markers. Once you are past the first waterfall and until you reach the second much smaller lake near the main waterfall there is lots more elevation gain through never-ending fields of rock that can be difficult to find your way through. There are cairns to help guide you at times, but they are not always obvious. Once you get up level with the base of the main waterfall the trail turns into a scramble route straight up a steep loose rock slope for about 200 meters in elevation gain over about 300 metres distance. After you make your way to the top of this section, the trail cuts right across the top of the rock slope and heads up towards the high point. From here the third lake comes into view quickly on your right and lower down. Another km over more shattered rock will take you to to the camp site at the other end of the lake.
As others have said before - please for the sake of your dog don’t bring them past the first lake. It would be extremely difficult for any breed.
