Garibaldi's Park

Charles Chapman took this picture of Black Tusk in 1915. The same year, as president of the BC, he sent a resolution for the creation of the park to the provincial government. The B.C. government reserved lands for the park in 1920, though the Garibaldi Park Act wasn’t passed until 1927. Due to the efforts of mountaineers and others, the park boundary was extended northward in 1928, and again in 1933. Today, Garibaldi Provincial Park is a 195,000 hectare mountain wilderness just 64 kilometres north of Vancouver. Back
