*** About Black Tusk: Black Tusk is a strikingly prominent volcanic spire located in Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia. Towering at 2,319 meters above sea level, it is a remnant of a stratovolcano that erupted about 1.3 million years ago. Known for its distinct, sharply pointed shape and its basaltic dark rock, Black Tusk is a favorite subject for photographers and artists, as well as a challenging destination for hikers and mountaineers. The peak is not only a geological wonder but also holds significant cultural importance to the local Squamish people, who refer to it as t’ak’t’ak mu’yin tl’a in7in’a’xe7en.
