Russet Lake is a popular spot for backpacking and hiking in Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler, British Columbia. The trail offers stunning views of Castle Towers, Black Tusk, and the surrounding mountains. The hike starts off with a gradual incline through the woods, opening up into meadows as you approach the lake. There are plenty of water sources along the way, but it's a good idea to bring extra water. The camp spots at Russet Lake provide beautiful views and a peaceful setting for overnight stays. Overall, it's a challenging but rewarding adventure for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the beauty of the Canadian wilderness.
