Hanging Lake & Rainbow Mountain | Hiking in British Columbia

A hiking adventure in British Columbia that took a friend and I almost to the summit of Rainbow Mountain and 2 nights of camping at Hanging Lake, a great walk near Whistler, Canada.
We began from Alta Lake Road and hike 6.2 miles (10km) and up 2,893ft (882m) to Hanging Lake following Twentyone Mile Creek and crossing over Gin & Tonic Creek. .
The next day, we took jaunt over to Ninja Lakes before cutting across to the Beverly Lake Trail and and Rainbow Mountain West Route way trail to attempt to summit Rainbow Mountain. We stopped short of the summit with the elevation and exposure making us feel unsafe so we headed back to Hanging Lake for the night. A good 7.3 mile day hike (11.7km) up and down 3,356ft (1,023m).
The following day, we hiked the 6.2 miles (10km), with a stop at Rainbow Falls, and back down to the trailhead.

Unbelievable beauty! Thank you so much for capturing this and sharing it with us.

Thanks for watching! I'd love to see your video of this area if you get up there!

Infinite, wild, high, superb, colourful and most impressive sceneries high between Earth and Sky, only for eagles to see and a few very fit and very courageous explorers of so incredibly beautiful, rich and diverse Mother Nature. Very nice music perfectly in synch with the mood. Last but not least, I am very impressed by (and very much LOVE) this approach - nearly as a succession of very precisely composed animated photos, much more graphic , much tighter and much closer composed than usual, and so resulting in a more impactful reportage, close to cinema. One of my preferred video's by you.

Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it!

What a beautiful video! I enjoyed every second! Great shots and scenes (3:17 was just perfect), and good vibes from you both. Nice work, keep it up!!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks for watching and glad you like the rock splash! I always feel a little bit bad throwing a rock into still lake like that, something about upsetting the reflective tranquility, so I'm glad you like it.

7:05 is an incredible shot. After watching that hike I felt like I had got done meditating. Great video!

[@Zoomdak]

So glad to hear. I made this one a little more contemplative, so I'm glad it brought you some peace.

Heyo, how was camping at Hanging Lake? Were there a lot of spots/water sources?

[@Zoomdak]

Hanging Lakes was a nice little campsite. Not giant epic views, but still very pretty. 8:35 is view form campsite. There is a good creek flowing in near the campground 2:58.
