Maybe we will have to try to find out. We did the Seymour Peak (spectacular view) last week and we did the Grouse Moutain trail last Saturday with Élizabeth on the Kelty Kids Carrier Backpack... that was a big workout for the daddy, but he did it. Our next ride will probably be at the Lighthouse, so Élizabeth can walk too. Thanks again (we are planning on making a new blog for Parents/childrens hikes in BC :)) ) Thank you for your answer!

Tough question. I never paid attention to that detail as I don't have kids to worry about. As a rough estimate, I'd say 80%-90% of the trail *could* be chariot carrier friendly -- the first 6km close to 100% friendly --, but an obvious spot where you'd have trouble with it is the Barrier (one of the three major viewpoints). But since I never paid *real* attention to that detail, I wouldn't give any guarantee on that. If someone reading this article has experienced hiking Garibaldi Lake with a kid, feel free to let her know how it's like. :) Salut Marie-Chaton,

Could a Chariot Carrier be used to bring our little one? Hi
How is the trail? Could a Chariot Carrier be used to bring our little one?

I use to go quite often and backpack at Garibaldi, but now it's so popular I just do day hikes :-( I now live in Washington, but will be doing Black Tusk this weekend-can't wait!

I've been living in Vancouver since 2006 myself and I've wanted to do this hike since I arrived - we've just got a tent so may do some backcountry camping up there this summer *crosses fingers* Fantastic photos.
