Greetings from warm Pemberton! I have been to the Lower Joffre Lake many time before, but never hiked up to the two upper lakes. WOW! Just WOW! How come is that place not more famous than it is? It is, like, totally on par if not better than Lake Louise in Banff!
I was expecting a nice hike but that place blew my mind. Those turquose lakes, tall rocky mountains around you, the glaciers... Oh man, it was SO much better than I was expecting!
Lots of photos to come later on. It was VERY busy up there with cars overflowing the two parking lots, but that place really deserves to be seen by as many as possible. Easy hike to the Middle Lake thanks to new trail but reaching the campground behind the Upper Lake takes some effort. Must be amazing to stay overnight in there.
Perhaps then one could also hike up to the glacier, as it is a bit too much to do in one day. Maybe one day!
Tomorrow I will try the service road to Lillooet.
