Landslide Lake & Berg Lake are two of the most beautiful lakes on Vancouver Island! One is a stunning emerald green colour, and the other is bright blue with icebergs floating on it's surface. (in early summer)
Lucky for us, they are both located quite close to each other along the Elk River Trail in Strathcona Provincial Park - making this one of the BEST hikes on Vancouver Island, BC! Bonus points, it's dog friendly.
This is a LONG hike though - so make sure you have the right gear, permits, and always practice Leave No Trace principals! I will link a few of my backpacking gear videos and info on LNT below.
