Alright, we're heading off to Joffre Lake. We are just leaving Vancouver Canada, it's the middle of October
so it's not going to be very busy up there and in this video
I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about the lake. Where to go, what the drives like, anything
you need to know, in this video i'm going to tell you so let's check it out.
Alright, so in this video
I'm going to give you everything you need to know about Joffre Lake Provincial Park. How to get there,
places the stop along the way and
What exactly you can expect when you get to Joffre Lake Provincial Park. Now I left from downtown, Vancouver, Canada
And it's a three hour drive north
Along the sea to sky highway through Squimish
Whistler and
Pemberton
There's honestly a ton of spots to check out and stop along the way. I'm not going to go over all of them
but if you're curious liked the video and subscribe to the channel. I'm from Vancouver, Canada. I make traveling videos like this
I tell short stories and take you on adventures your support means a lot
So it's really appreciated. And since I'm from the area, I'm gonna be releasing a lot more videos in the Whistler,
Squamish, Pemberton area along with Vancouver Canada and just generally the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully one day
It's even further out but for now this is where i'm starting. So like the video and subscribe to the channel.
Anyways on this trip we end up stopping at Brandywine Falls. At this point
I had never been there before so I didn't know exactly what to expect
but it's just south of Whistler and it's right off the Sea to Sky highway.
It ended up only being a 15 minute walk from the parking lot to the Falls and
I was actually surprised at how gorgeous it was.
It's definitely a stop I would recommend if you're going through the area. We ended up spending way more time than we originally planned
Just a admiring the view.
Alright, so I'm going to take us straight to Joffre Lake Provincial Park.
Now this is the parking lot, as you can see it's packed.
It's the middle of October and there were quite a few people here.
If you come during the summertime, you can go online you'll see just
tons of cars parked along the highway so get here early because they can get pretty crowded
Anyways, one of the first things I noticed when I got here is dogs are not allowed
So if you're planning on bringing your pup, you might want to go somewhere else
Here we are a Joffre Lakes Provincial Park
We're at the beginning here just off the main road. There's a parking lot washrooms and
In this video. We'll go over the lower Joffre Lake
the hike up to the middle Joffre Lake and
the Upper Joffre Lake.
Alright, so the first thing you're gonna encounter on your hike through Joffre Lake Provincial Park is
Lower Joffre Lake. This is it here. It's a five minute walk from the parking lot
and this is basically it. You can't walk around the lake. It's pretty crowded because it's right beside the parking lot
and there's not a lot of room to move around.
Yeah, this is it
Alright, so the main hike at Joffre Lake Provincial Park is the hike from Lower Joffre Lake to Middle Joffre Lake.
Unlike some of the other popular hikes in the area
this hike has some breathtaking views. The hike to the Middle Lake took us just over an hour
but we were booking it up the mountain since we wanted to make sure we were back before it got dark.
It was October after all
When I searched this hike online it said from the Bottom to Upper Joffrey Lake it
takes just over three hours to do.
I thought that seemed long but after thinking about it, it's probably correct
The hike up is on a narrow path and like I said earlier this place gets busy during the summer time. So
it can be difficult passing other. If you just enjoy yourself and take your time the three hour sounds about right. As
You can see here the trail becomes slippery and muddy
so like any other trail in British Columbia, bring food water and bug spray.
The middle lake might be the most like iconic lake out of the three. Most pictures of Joffre Lake online is
this one right here, the middle lake and
It's easy to see why with its crystal clear blue water and it's ice cap mountains.
During the summer the lines just to get a picture on this log can be over 30 minutes long.
The hike from middle to upper lake is relatively easy.
You hike pass Holloway Falls, which is stunning. I
Never timed the distance between middle and upper Joffre Lake but according to this it's only about 20 minutes.
Alright so this is upper Joffre Lake. There are campsites at the far end of the lake
I never hiked that far but it's probably only another 10-15 minutes away. There were washrooms but check out this view.
Alright so that's Provincial Park. This is the upper lake the far end.
