Joffre Lakes Park

Joffre Lakes Park is known for its striking trio of glacial lakes, a stunning contrast of turquoise hues set against rugged mountain backdrops. The park, established in the early 20th century, showcases natural wonders shaped by glacial activity, with pristine landscapes that are a favourite among hikers and photographers alike. Plan to spend several hours exploring the well-maintained trails connecting the lakes, especially the hike to the stunning Upper Joffre Lake. Late spring to early fall is the best time to visit when the trails are accessible and the lakes are at their most vivid. Keep an eye out for wildlife, including black bears and marmots.
