Turquoise alpine lake under peaks

Joffre Lakes

Three turquoise lakes in a hanging valley north of Pemberton — a permit hike, and worth the paperwork.

Day-use permits are required in peak season. Start early. The upper lake is the postcard; the trail is rocky and busy. Stage from Pemberton, not from a late start in Vancouver.
