Whistler Backcountry Snowshoe Tour – Joffre Lakes

Joffre Lakes in the winter becomes a paradise of serene winter beauty. The lake is frozen and the low sitting sun peeks through the snow-covered trees, reflecting throughout the forest creating a glowing ambiance and peaceful feeling throughout the forest.

As you are following your guide, you can expect to see many small creeks and pillows of snow covering the boulder field below.  As you reach the third lake you will be rewarded with views of the spectacular, towering glaciers on the far side of the lake.
