Joffre lake has been sitting impatiently on my bucket list and I’ve finally gotten around to planning it. Ideally, this is a pretty beginner-friendly hike but you would need to be able to carry an overnight hiking bag for the most part of two days.
I’m a photographer, so joining other photographers would be ideal as we can just spend our quality time on each lake and absorb everything. This will be a very slow hike spending up to an hour on each lake. If you like more fast-paced hikes this might not be for you
I am aware of the other Joffre Lake trip but unfortunately, I’ve got the Felix Traverse hike scheduled during that period.
Everything in the essentials is pretty important and necessary, You might get away without a Hiking pad or boots but it won’t be comfortable.
If we can source a mini-stove that would be great to make some hot dinner and coffee :)
Since I have space for 1 other person and possibly 2 if you don’t mind squeezing while sleeping (We will be warmer), I’d appreciate it if you are sure you would be able to make this trip before signing up as backing out last minute would ruin a lot.
Bonus: If you can drive and have a car we could avoid the bus fees altogether! I’ve already reserved the campgrounds.
