The Black Tusk is a stark tower of crumbling volcanic rock rising above and north of Garibaldi Lake and surrounding meadows. It is an eroded remant of an extinct volcano. The peak's isolation from surrounding mountains, and it's striking appearance make it a prominant landmark in Garabaldi Park and the southern Coast Mountains. A trail and scramble route make the ascent simple and very popular. One local quoted me the statistic that it is the most climbed mountain in B.C. The summit view of Garbaldi Lake and surrounding glaciated peaks is spectacular!

On Saturday July 30th the Lions summited the Tusk (2315m in height). It was a magnificent view and climb on a beautful day.
