After about an hour of hiking, we reach Middle Joffre Lake, known for its vibrant blue waters and dramatic backdrop of glaciers and mountains. Here, we’ll take a longer break to rest, enjoy the scenery, and snap some photos. Lunch Break: Next, we’ll find a picturesque spot near Middle Joffre Lake for our 45-minute to one-hour lunch break. Everyone is encouraged to bring a packed lunch. We’ll relax, eat, and take in the stunning surroundings, and ill be your very own private photographer, instagram worthy.

Upon arrival, we are greeted by the majestic sight of Matier Glacier and the pristine waters of the upper lake.
