History
- The park was
named after the twin peaks of
Mount
Blanshard near
the park's western boundary. This park was originally part of
Garibaldi Provincial Park. Golden Ears Park was established in
1927.
-
Cultural
Heritage
- Human
activity in Golden Ears, both past and present, has been confined
to the accessible
Alouette
Valley in the
south of the park. In the 1920s, the forested slopes of the valley
became the site of BC's greatest railroad logging operation until a
disastrous fire swept through the valley in 1931.
The lake and
its forested surroundings were also the traditional hunting and
fishing grounds for the Douglas-Lillooet (Interior Salish) and
Katzie (Coast Salish) First Nations peoples.
To complete the Golden Ears Gallop you must be
prepared for back country travel. Make sure some one knows were you
are and when you plan to return. These caches are all on well
marked trails, but the terrain can be difficult in some areas.
