Garibaldi & Chilcotin Trek - NEW

A unique backcountry trek in the wilds of South Chilcotin combined with scenic day walks in Garibaldi and Whistler

Specially designed for Mountain Kingdoms, this superb trekking holiday takes the trail less travelled on a backcountry trek through the remote, scenic and little-known South Chilcotin Mountains of British Columbia.
