"With the feeling in the air that the first snow of the Fall was coming, we decided to camp up as high as possible in the mountains before they would get blanketed in white. We chose Panorama Ridge in Garibaldi Provincial Park.

A weather inversion that weekend meant it was actually quite warm that night even though we were camped at over 6900ft. A perfect night in the mountains.

Shortly after our trip, the first snow flew and we were glad we'd seized the day and got one more warm night of camping in before winter."

Raft Cove

The mild climate of its rainforest jungles and coastline features is a big part of why camping in the abundant parkland of Vancouver Island is so damn good.

Caprock Quickie

At times it may have more mud than snow, but if winter camping in the South Prong Loop of Caprock Canyon State Park looks this good, then we’re all in.
