Garibaldi was appointed major general, and formed a volunteer unit named the Hunters of the Alps.
Garibaldi, one the tallest and most impressive peaks part of the Garibaldi Belt of volcanic mountains located north of Vancouver, Canada, is also named after him, and there is a school in Maple Ridge, BritishColumbia, Canada named Garibaldi Secondary School in his honor.

Strictly speaking, Garibaldi is not part of the Cascade Range proper, but instead is part of the Coast Mountains of BritishColumbia, as it lies well north of the Fraser River, the customary dividing line between the two ranges.
One of the lowest of the Pacific Coast stratovolcanoes, Garibaldi is neither the highest peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park, nor the highest volcanic peak in Canada (that honor going to Mount Edziza, 9,144 ft./2787m, in northwestern BritishColumbia).
Because Mount Garibaldi is composed of unstable rock, routes keep mostly to the glaciers and snow slopes, which are abundant in winter and spring, but which become "boggy" in late spring and usually vanish after June or July of most years.
