Garibaldi Lake Loop Extension  Map

If you're looking to get back to your car without retreading ground, and escaping the masses of people this route provides. The trail passes Brandywine falls and has many lovely stops along the Cheakamus river. It's worth noting however it does involve about 2km of travel on the side of a highway, and some forest service roads. Campsite is just before the half way mark at Cheakamus Canyon. It's possible to add 8km and stop at Jane Lake which would add some beauty and quiet.
