Departure and Scenic Drive: Our adventure begins with a pick-up from Vancouver BC downtown (or Squamish pick up). From Vancouver, we embark on a scenic drive along the famous Sea to Sky Highway, known for its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, coastal mountains, and lush forests. The journey to the trailhead at Joffre Lakes takes about 2.5 hours, offering plenty of opportunities to marvel at the stunning landscape and take photos.
Lower Joffre Lake: A short 5-minute walk brings us to the serene Lower Joffre Lake. The turquoise water, surrounded by lush greenery and rugged peaks, offers a stunning introduction to the area. We’ll pause here briefly to soak in the views and capture some photos.
Middle Joffre Lake: Continuing on, the trail becomes more challenging with steeper sections and rocky terrain. After about an hour of hiking, we reach Middle Joffre Lake, known for its vibrant blue waters and dramatic backdrop of glaciers and mountains. Here, we’ll take a longer break to rest, enjoy the scenery, and snap some photos.
Next, we’ll find a picturesque spot near Middle Joffre Lake. Everyone is encouraged to bring a packed lunch. We’ll relax, eat, and take in the stunning surroundings, and I’ll be your very own private photographer, Instagram-worthy if you want
Upper Joffre Lake: Re-energized, we tackle the final stretch to Upper Joffre Lake. This section involves a series of switchbacks and a moderate climb. Upon arrival, we are greeted by the majestic sight of Matier Glacier and the pristine waters of the upper lake.
This is a perfect spot to unwind, reflect on the hike, and appreciate the awe-inspiring landscape and take more pictures!!
Drive Back: Our return drive along the Sea to Sky Highway is a final opportunity to enjoy the scenic vistas. Depending on the time, we might catch a beautiful sunset over the ocean, concluding our day with a memorable view
