"Joffre Lakes is actually not one but 3 lakes in one hike! With their stunning turquoise color, it almost gives you a taste of the Rockies. The hike takes about 3 to 5 hours to complete depending on your level. The first lake is very easily accessible from the parking lot. Then there is definitely a bit of incline, but it's not very technical. The second lake is in my opinion the most beautiful of the three, surrounded by trees and with the glacier in the background. If you want to take a cool picture, there is a log half submerged in the water that you can walk on, just don't fall into the water! The last lake is a short distance away and allows you to see the glacier from closer. Note that it's mandatory to book a pass 3 days in advance in summer (for free), and it usually sells out quickly so plan ahead! "

"Alpensee (und Gletschersicht) für Anfänger*innen: Was ihr in British Columbia normalerweise erst nach mindestens einem „Puh, ich glaub ich brauch neue Wanderschuhe“ und dem (un-)regelmäßigen Seitenstechen bekommt, liefert Joffre Lake euch für die halbe Anstrengung auf dem Silbertablett. In knapp zwei Stunden kommt ihr an drei tief-türkisfarbenen Seen vorbei, bevor der Nadelwald für die Hauptattraktion Platz macht: den Matier Gletscher und der dazugehörige Joffre Lake. Traumhafte Aussichten, traumhafte Konditionen! Kurz & Knapp: • 4 Stunden und 10 Kilometer Rundweg • 370 Höhenmeter • 3h Fahrtzeit von Vancou entfernt • Campen erlaubt "
