    You can drive above the dam. It is alright, BR 100. But the next road is called BR 200., about a 1 KM further. It is really special. Goes up the backside of Cloudburst. This area is super cool. You can see deposition from Gaglarity explosion. A layer of Black, one foot thick. There is a whole other world up there.

      I don't know if it is technically open but none of the gondola staff have ever harassed me. The sign I show in the video shows areas that are closed to motorized vehicles and subject to hefty fines. It does not include the section from the gate to the back of the gondola.

The weirdest thing of beauty. Squamish River area. Ashlu River. If you have questions, just ask. I know this area, and can help. ELAHO River or West Squamish are things you must see in life. Im ordering you to check these to Rivers out and to respond. lol Your under orders young explorer. Spring in the Elaho is a must see. And so close to Squamish too.

Do you have an enduro Bike? The Gold mine is at the end of this road. This section of the road starts at the Dam area. Must see. Love your video and very interesting too. Im up the Squamish River, just past the reservation.

    My grandfather’s sister and husband, their son and his family lived in Garibaldi. They had been up there since the 1940’s I believe. First time I went up there in 1962 or 63 we walked across an old abandoned bridge across the river to watch the PGE Budd car come through in the early evening. I think B.C. Hydro bought some land off them for Daisy Lake dam construction and Highways did too when they moved the road from crossing the top of the dam to the present alignment below it. They had homes on both sides of the present highway and were bought out. I think calling Garibaldi a town was a bit of a stretch…I remember the lodge / general store and maybe some gas pumps and that’s about it. The road through there was basically a well used logging road at the time and had some pretty scary drop offs along Daisy Lake and in the Chekemus canyon. I do remember people talking about The Barrier too!

      @ I don’t think I’ve seen any pictures of back then around. We didn’t get up there often…we convoy with my grandparents with their 61 Chev half ton and Dad and I in our 61 VW van. Road was extremely rough and they were working on it in spots especially building the bridge south of the canyon…it’s still used! Once we went by Jeep up to Alta Lake as it was known then. The ski lift was there at current Creekside but very rudimentary. It was summertime and about 100F, very dusty and quiet! Just north of Daisy Lake dam they took us on a side road up to a concrete tunnel bored into the side of a hill. It was fenced off but half full of water and hundreds of tiny frogs. I assume it was part of the penstock pipe tunnel system…maybe a construction access tunnel?
