Mount Price Trail:

Condition: Rough trail poorly marked by ribbons, some clamboring over rocks.

General Route: Climbs from the outlet of Garibaldi Lake up to Mount Price.


How to Find: Since this is not an official trail, it is not marked. From the outlet of Garibaldi Lake, skirt around the lake to the campground. Go through the campground, and then head directly north, going cross country. You will soon hit the main trail to Mount Price just south of Battleship Bay.

How to Follow: This trail is poorly marked and quite rough, involving a lot of scrambling over boulders. It ends at treeline below Clinker Peak, 3.2 km past the Ranger Station.

The first part of the trail is a beaten path, but as you start to climb, you need to scramble over the big boulders of the lava flow. Here the trail was marked by the occasional pink ribbon, which are helpful, since there's not really a beaten path. Between the rough sections, the beaten path resumed. The lava flow parts of the trail are the roughest part of the trail.

Bulletins:
2009.10.08 Bill Maurer - Hiked trail to summit of Mount Price: The trail starts immediately behind the dock near the ranger station. It briefly goes uphill before dropping back to the lake at the next bay. It then heads SW away from the lake for a short distance before turning SE on a fairly direct heading to Clinker crossing a number of old lava flows en route. This route roughly parallels the lake shore to the base of Clinker. It is relatively well flagged in the bushy sections but difficult to follow under snow in the open areas. It then goes up the north side of Clinker before crossing the shoulder into the Clinker Price col. See trip report for map.

Map of the route

Mount Price (Summer Route)
Difficulty: 2: Rough trail with easy scrambling over large rocks.
Abstract: Summer route to Mt Price from Rubble Creek.
From Squamish, drive north on Highway 99 about 35 km, then turn right (east) onto the road to the Garibaldi Lake parking lot, in Rubble Creek. The turn is marked by a sign. It is just before Daisy Lake. From the parking lot, hike up the Garibaldi Lake trail to the outlet of the lake. Then head south along the lakeshore to the ranger station, where you will find the start of the trail.
Trip Report: This is the standard summer route to Mt Price best done between July and September when there is no snow on the ground. Approach is via the Rubble Creek trail to the campground at Garibaldi Lake. The trail starts immediately behind the dock near the ranger station. It briefly goes uphill before dropping back to the lake at the next bay. It then heads SW away from the lake for a short distance before turning SE on a fairly direct heading to Clinker crossing a number of old lava flows en route. This route roughly parallels the lake shore to the base of Clinker. It is relatively well flagged in the bushy sections but difficult to follow under snow in the open areas. It then goes up the north side of Clinker before crossing the shoulder into the Clinker Price col. The summit of Price is gained from its SW side.
The winter route when the lake is frozen involves skiing across the lake to Price Bay and then skiing up the north slope of Price.
In good conditions this can be done as an 8 hour round trip from the Rubble Creek Parking lot.
