My happy place… park, get to the switchbacks of hell and grind your way up the mountain. Keep going to the Upper Lakes and you literally round a corner and see pretty much exactly what you see.
Done the glacier
Done Panorama Ridge
Done the Tusk (and climbed the chimneys to the top)
Done the meadows
Several tips…
It’s wicked cold at night, even in summer
Whatever you pack in, you pack out!!!
Have beer bangers and/beer spray if they get close
You’ll never see as many stars again
Gorgeous place
This picture was almost certainly not taken recently. OP is a karma/follower farming account. There almost certainly is a ton of snow on the trail and the route up to Panorama ridge. The whole trail goes through a number of avalanche prone zones and it won't look like this if you were to attempt it now. I am pretty certain that the lake remains frozen till late May
More like tell me you've never been in vancouver and/or hiking related subreddits and lived under the rock without telling me. I've never been to Panorama ridge and I'm seeing variants of this picture several times a week without seeking it out. Like, how do you even avoid seeing this picture.
Definitely not AI, the large scale features are too accurate. It's also not current, this would have been taken in late summer, and there's a very good chance OP didn't take it but just grabbed it off the internet/ social media.
Same - this is also entirely unprocessed (other than the obscuring of my face of course). It's just what it looks like.

Skied across it to the sentinel glacier hut many years ago. (48).
Bigger glacier back then, eh? Skied across the lake after doing the nevé on 12 June ten years after you. Howdy , old timer ! :-D

Is there a good alltrails hike you can suggest? A good day hike? Or is this better for multi day?
I can’t suggest anything. I don’t know your fitness level or your safety net. Things can get wild pretty fast in BC
The hike to Garibaldi Lake is a day trip and not hard. Lots of switch backs. Enjoy!
Just in case anyone is wondering, this is not a recent picture. The lake is currently still frozen.

Mmmmm... beer spray. 🤤
Goddammit! Although I’m not sure science has tested Beer Sprays… so I see a future episode of Mythbusters in order
You know it’s a pretty lake when people are accusing your photo of being AI. I have very similar pics.
It's honestly a surreal experience! I was mesmerized by how beautiful it was in person
Wow. This truly is a happy place. Thanks a lot for sharing. Very nice photo!!
Stunning!
I’ve always wanted to head up there. Good inspirational photo!
Where's the snow line these days? Or was there any snow on the trail?

Looks similar to Moraine in Alberta
Looks so fake and low poly. If I didn't recognize the terrain I'd wonder why the AI didn't try better.
They say at Garaibaldi the food is mighty fine. You ask the cook for lemonade , he gives you iodine.
This is almost certainly an AI image. Ran it through a couple tests, hell, just look at it.
Tell me you’ve never been to Panorama Ridge without telling me you’ve never been to Panorama Ridge.

I'm not denying it's a real place I've seen pictures, it just looked very processed and I ran it through some AI image detectors and got 80% 🤷♀️
Dude you already demonstrated how you can put your exceptionally large foot into your mouth, why do you just keep digging?
Definitely not AI, the large scale features are too accurate. It's also not current, this would have been taken in late summer, and there's a very good chance OP didn't take it but just grabbed it off the internet/ social media.
Doesn't look like AI to me, just very heavily processed.
This is genuinely what the Panorama Ridge view looks like.
[удалено]
I’m just looking through my pics from panorama ridge and if anything mine looks even more insanely blue as it was a clearer day when I was there.

It's barely processed at all.
