There are many nice spots to take a picture around Middle Joffre Lake. A fairly steep climb takes you up to Upper Joffre Lakes, but it is worth the effort.

Middle Joffre Lake lies at an elevation of approximately 1,520 m and is easily accessible via a well-trodden trail—with an elevation gain of approximately 250 m from the parking lot on Duffey Lake Road. On the north shore of the lake, where Joffre Creek emerges, there are magnificent views of the mountains, including the peak of Mount Matier and its glacial base, as well as Slalok Mountain.
During our descent in the afternoon (visit on May 28, 2025), numerous swimmers had entered the lake.

A very beautiful turquoise blue lake that you reach after a steep climb - It's worth it!
