Callaghan Conservancyのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Perched high above the treeline at around 1,686 metres, the Brew Hut feels like a true alpine destination after a long climb. The hut itself is a simple backcountry shelter, maintained by the Varsity Outdoor Club, and is often used by hikers and skiers as a base for overnight trips. From here, you get wide, open views across the surrounding peaks, with Brew Lake sitting below. It’s exposed, rugged, and rewarding — the kind of place that makes the effort to get here feel worth it.

Conflict Lake is a beautiful mountain lake nestled in the Callaghan Valley west of Whistler. In the summer, the meadow around the lake blooms with wildflowers, making for an incredible sight. The lake is a worthy destination in itself for a day hike, or you can venture on up to Ring Lake; either way, it is a great outing.

Ring Lake is a remote alpine lake nestled in the rugged Callaghan Valley of British Columbia, situated beneath the slopes of Mount Callaghan and Ring Mountain. The route from the lake to the summit of either peak is an off-trail scramble and should only be attempted by experienced hikers.

Mount Callaghan is a 2,400-meter peak just east of the Squamish River headwaters. While it's possible to summit in a single day, it is a long and arduous endeavor. The route from Ring Lake to the summit is unmarked and involves a steep scramble over loose boulders. While the exposure is not serious, this section should only be attempted by experienced hikers.

Once you reach the Brew Lake Trail off Branch 110, the route begins with a westward climb through forested terrain. The most significant elevation gain occurs in the last 2 kilometers, where the trail enters a large boulder field. From this point, keep a close eye out for trail markers as you ascend along the edge of the boulders. Shortly after, you will arrive at a beautiful alpine lake nestled among meadows and low peaks.

Brew Lake is a stunning mountain lake nestled in a vast alpine valley. The lake is framed by tree-covered hills and cliffs on one side, contrasting with scree slopes and large boulders on the other. Notably, this adventure sees significantly less traffic than other hikes in the area.

Brandywine Meadows Trail begins at a dirt parking area at the end of Brandywine Forest Service Road. Begin with a steep climb through the forest; the trail flattens out around Brandywine Meadow, then climbs again, with the final accent a class 2-3 scramble.

Brandywine Meadow is a large open meadow below Brandywine Mountain. This is a popular dispersed camping area with a small seasonal lake. There are no facilities or outhouses.
