Semaphore Lakes
A great place to take older kids who can carry their own clothes and food, is Semaphore Lakes, near Pemberton, B.C. It’s a similar set up to Garabaldi Lake, wherein you hike in, set up base camp and then do day hikes to the peaks around. We’ve hiked into this area twice - once with each other and another time with our then 2-year-old daughter and then 5-year-old cocker spaniel. Check out both trips on my blog, The Mountain Goat.
