Hiking
Upper Joffre Lake is the highest of three alpine lakes. It is surrounded by majestic peaks like Mount Matier, Slalok Mountain and Joffre Peak. You will also enjoy a stunning view of the Matier Glacier. There are beautiful campsites at the southeast shore of the lake.

Hiking
Upper Joffre Lake lies at an elevation of 1,570 m and is easily accessible along a shady forest trail. Below the lake, the ascent takes you past the rushing Holloway Falls. There is an elevation difference of approximately 60 meters between Middle and Upper Joffre Lake. The lakeshore offers a stunning panorama, including Joffre Peak and Slalok Mountain, as well as the glacial base of Mount Matier; the mountain peak itself is not visible from here.
