Hey guys. Karl here from Outdoor Vancouver and
today we're hiking up to Iceberg Lake in Whistler.
It's been raining overnight it's a super cloudy foggy morning.
I'm really hoping the weather clears up by the time we get up to the top in a
few hours from now so we get nice views at the meadow.
But as of right now it's not looking too promising.
Iceberg lake is a really popular hike in Whistler.
There's a few routes you can take to get up there. We're taking the 19 Mile Creek
which is the most direct trail to get up to the
lake and back. The shortest route.
And man it is gorgeous up here! The clouds are
parting. It looks like we're gonna be lucky with the weather. And the whole trail up
is actually very scenic. There's waterfalls
the forest up is scenic, the trail is well maintained.
There's a lot of junctions but they're all well marked. So the entire hike up to
this part has been very enjoyable. I can't believe I've
actually never done this hike before. And I can see
why it's such a popular hike in Whistler.
The only downside is that the mozzies are out in full force. Absolutely eating
us alive, despite the bug spray and being covered
up and whatnot. But other than that, it's pretty
amazing up here.
The trail itself climbs up the entire way, but at a more or less gradual pace.
It never feels overly steep until you come to the last
exposed rock scramble section right before the lake.
I'd rate it as a moderate hike up until that point.
If you want to download the GPS tracks for this hike, as well as follow our
step-by-step route description, you can read the guide on our website. I'll put a
link to that in the description of this video below.
So overall the hike was really enjoyable from start to finish.
