The Joffre Lakes hiking trail offers incredible views for moderate effort. After rising to fame on Instagram, the turquoise water in these stunning lakes have become recognizable to hikers everywhere.

There are three lakes along the trail. The first one, Lower Joffree Lake, is only a few hundred metres into the hike. Middle Joffre Lakes takes more effort to reach and is the perfect spot to sit and have a snack. Here you'll find the floating log many brave hikers walk out onto for surreal photos. You can also swim here. Just a bit further down the trail, you'll find a beautiful waterfall.

At the end of the hike, you'll reach the final lake: Upper Joffre Lake. Behind it is the Matier Glacier. There is a urine diversion toilet, bear lockers and designated area for tents.

Leave ample time for taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. Or, prepare in advance to spend the night. Trust us, you'll want to.
