    Tips

    November 11, 2025

    The Gwillim Lakes in Valhalla Provincial Park are accessible via a tough but unforgettable hike that rewards your effort with sweeping alpine views and crystal-clear waters. Many visitors opt to backpack in and camp overnight to make the most of the remote location and the long journey to the trailhead. The route is usually best explored from midsummer to early fall, when the snow has melted and the wildflowers are in bloom, though due to the altitude and exposure you should prepare for inclement weather at any time of year.
