(19 km NW of Garibaldi Lake). (23 km SW of Whistler).
The highest peak in the popular High Falls Creek area. Somewhat steep near the top but usually climbed unroped. The High Falls Creek area can be reached by driving north from Squamish up the Squamish valley, and then turning up a steep logging road. A trail takes about 2 hours to gain open meadow and lakes. From here the peak can be climbed.
Bulletins 2007.08.26 Andrew Wong Lots of snow near summit, lots of mud below: There could be trails muddier than Tricouni, but it's hard to think of one. This summer's cool temperatures and constant rains have solidified the trail's reputation as a mudfest at the start. Wax your boots! The large snow patch between the second and third lakes (beside the waterfall) isn't very stable in the centre--a large, thick section collapsed while we were there. Ice axe highly recommended for any summit attempt; lots of snow starting from below the false summit. *
How to Follow: Trail up Belia Creek (tributary of High Falls Creek) to Kathryn Lake and the meadows W of Tricouni Peak. The marked route is muddy in a wet meadow about 800m from the landing at the end of Br 250. It is also a popular winter route for backcountry skiers and snowmobilers but there is avalanche danger in the middle of the valley.
Seagram Lake and Cypress Peak may be reached by crossing the pass to the north of Katherine Lake (notable for its large island in the lake). This route is the southern end of the Squamish-Cheakamus Divide traverse.

2007.08.26 Andrew Wong Driveable to end with HC 4x4: Easily drove to road's end in a stock 2001 (?) Pathfinder. We didn't take the Tracker or a 2007 Grand Vitara up there, though it turned out we could have. Thanks to Kevin for marking the failed waterbar. Note: We discovered that there's a strong cell phone signal at the end of the road.
2007.07.07 Don Luymes Grizzly spotted in Tricouni Area: We spotted a young grizzly at 11 am, Saturday July 7 crossing from the basin west of Tricouni then along and eventually over the south ridge of Tricouni at the head of the valley containing the three lakes. We later spotted his track between Kathryn Lake and 2nd Lake; it appears that he came into the Tricouni basin from the Seagram Lake area. Be careful if you are in the Tricouni/Cypress areas.
