*** About Black Tusk: Black Tusk is a strikingly prominent volcanic peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia, renowned for its sharp, pinnacle shape that towers dramatically over the surrounding landscape. Formed from volcanic activity during the Pleistocene era, Black Tusk is considered to be the remnant of a much larger stratovolcano. This venerable landmark, which reaches heights of over 2,300 meters, is a popular destination for hikers and photographers alike, drawn by its challenging trails and breathtaking vistas. The name ‘Black Tusk’ itself is derived from the dark, durable rock spires that are visible from a great distance across the Whistler region, symbolizing endurance and timelessness amidst the dynamic changes of surrounding landscapes.
