Description
Experience British Columbia’s outdoor beauty at one of the best hiking spots and most picturesque parks in the region. Joffre Lakes Park is an amazing hiking, camping, and backpacking area full of mountain peaks, glaciers, and turquoise-blue lakes. There are three lakes (Lower, Middle, and Upper Joffre Lakes) located along the trail, and each is more stunning than the last. If you are looking to experience the beauty of nature, this is the perfect place.
After a scenic drive, arrive in the lively and charming village of Whistler and take an hour break. Enjoy your free time exploring the village full of shops, cafes and outdoor activities.
Continue your journey to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Park at Joffrey Lake Trail Parking lot and take an 8 km out-and-back moderate trail at one of BC’s most beautiful hikes, along the three amazing glacier-fed lakes. From the Lower Joffre Lake, carry on towards the steeper trail to Middle and Upper Joffre Lakes, offering stunning views of Matier Glacier (2,783m) and surrounding peaks.
This trail offers breathtaking views of mountain peaks, waterfalls, glaciers, and picturesque turquoise lakes in the British Columbian mountains. It’s perfect for travelers who appreciate small groups, personalized guides and a balance of activity and leisure. Hiking shoes are required.
A day-use passes are required to access Joffre Lakes Provincial Park during peak season and they are free of charge. I'll need to book them online in advance, two days before we visit the park.
I'll reach out closer to the date to confirm your pickup address in Vancouver.
