Blackcomb Glacier Provincial Park, Provincial park in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, Canada.
Blackcomb Glacier Provincial Park is a high-altitude park featuring two major peaks: The Spearhead and Blackcomb Peak, both above 2,400 meters. The terrain includes glacier fields and alpine landscapes spread across several hundred hectares.
The park received official designation in 1990 after being separated from a larger protected area. This decision aimed to safeguard the sensitive glacier and alpine zones specifically.
Three First Nations groups - the Lil'wat, Squamish, and St'át'imc - have maintained deep connections to this mountainous territory for generations. Their presence shapes how people today understand and respect the landscape.
The park is accessible during winter months via mountain lifts at the nearby ski resort, which provides the main access route. Visitors should expect challenging conditions at high altitude and plan accordingly.
A natural ice cave system within the glacier attracts visitors willing to hike briefly from the summit area. The ice formations result from glacier movement and provide a rare natural display.
