"What is V.O.C?" This question is difficult to answer. V.O.C. is a group of people interested in the outdoors bounded together by common interests and friendship. I feel that V.O.C. not only provides an outlet for people to hike, climb, ski, build trails and assist with conservation projects, but also offers a basis for attaining new friends and companionship. It is this feeling of group participation which has enabled us to build our chalet at Whistler Mountain. -
Garibaldi Lake (Saturday, August 6, 2016)
BMN HIKE REPORT Garibaldi Lake (Saturday, August 6, 2016) by Terry Puls View at the outlet of Garibaldi Lake, looking back toward Castle Towers Mountain and Mt. Carr. Terry Puls photo. Even an early 6:00 am start did not deter a group of BMN hikers from our August hike to Garibaldi Provincial Park to visit Taylor Meadows and Garibaldi Lake. Eleven of us met at our meeting location in Coquitlam under clear skies, though the air had a chill to it that would prove to provide the group with comfortable temperatures for the hike. Shortly after 6:00 we headed off by car to the trailhead where we would meet four others. Upon arriving at the Rubble Creek trailhead, we were greeted by two park rangers who warned us that the area was extremely busy and that there was a bear in the area. We never saw any signs of the bear; however, the crowds were certainly present. Even with our early start the parking lots were near capacity. After a quick introduction we headed off on our journey. The trail is in great shape and at a favourable grade, so we were able to make it to the 6 km junction fairly quickly, while enjoying the sights of some fairly impressive Douglas-fir trees along the way. Once at the 6 km junction, we regathered the group and, after a short break, headed for Taylor Meadows. Upon entering the Taylor Meadows area, some of our party caught a glimpse of a grouse alongside the trail. Once at the meadows, the views start to open up and we enjoyed the view of the Black Tusk and some of the other peaks in the area. -
Taylor Meadows/Garibaldi Lake Loop (September 10, 2011)
BMN Hike Taylor Meadows/Garibaldi Lake Loop (September 10, 2011) By Mark Johnston Garibaldi Lake with Mount Price and Clinker Peak in the background. I. McArthur photo. Surprisingly, in all the years of organizing club hikes, we had never scheduled a trip to Garibaldi Lake. Perhaps we had shunned the lake because of its popularity, as we tend to go places less peopled. But the lake is popular for a reason. It is, quite simply, stunningly beautiful. In his book Hiking near Vancouver (Vancouver: Mitchell Press Limited, 1971), Dougald MacDonald describes it this way: “an exquisite lake fed by glaciers. The water is an incredible blue-green, opaque with the rock flour that glaciers have abraded from the mountainsides.” So when, in this BC Parks centenary year, we came up with the idea of focusing on our provincial parks, we decided that no tour of our parks would be complete without paying a visit to this spectacular lake. When we planned the outing, we didn’t realize that the date we picked—Saturday, September 10—was that of the GranFondo Whistler bicycle race along the Sea to Sky Highway. After becoming aware of this, we agreed on an early start so as not to get stuck in slow-moving traffic. We left town at 6:15 am, and mostly avoided any delays. Although we arrived at the Rubble Creek parking area by 8:30, the upper lot was already full and the lower one filling up rapidly. As expected, the nine of us would have lots of company. But while there would be many other parties on the trail that day, we found that most of the time we were hiking alone, unaware of the other groups. -

Veeocee Mountain (right centre) and Ubyssey Glacier (left), in the McBride Range of Garibaldi Park photo by Alaistair Macdonald Th« Varsity Outdoor Quh Journal VOLUME Vm - 1965 7he VnivetMj of 3tiflih CoiumHa. Vancouver 8, B.C. i FRONTISPIECE PICTURE: Veeocee Mountain (ca. 7750') lies in the McBride Range of Garibaldi Park. Referring to the map drawn by Bert Port in the VOC Journal Vol. VII, the mountain lies three miles south-east of Mt. Cheakamus—just off the map. When the pioneers of mountaineering in northern Garibaldi Park, the Carters, Mrs. P. Munday and the Hooleys, met with the mem bers of the 1964 VOC Fitzsimmons Horseshoe Expedition to discuss new-name proposals for the area's unnamed features, it was commonly acknowledged that the VOC had, in the last twenty years, accomplished many outstanding mountaineering and ski-touring activities in Garibaldi Park. It was also agreed that these activities should be commemorated in the form of permanent geographic names for some of the park features. Proposed names were to be applied to prominent features and difficulty of ascent was to have no bearing on the selection. Glacier-clad Veeocee Mtn. is located on the outer extremity of a ridge trending first south, then west and finally northwest from Mt. Sir Richard. North and below the mountain in a valley bottom lies Ubyssey Glacier. To the north of this icy highway is a high jagged ridge with four chisel-like prominences, now officially known as The Lectures Cutters (ca. 8100'-8400'). This ridge is a portion of the colossal Sir Richard massif» VOC is greatly honoured that the Canadian Permanent Committee for Geographic Names and especially Messrs. -
