We Found a HIDDEN SPOT in The Busiest Hiking Trail in Canada: Joffre Lakes // Nat and Max

[@NatandMax]

We cannot believe we have lived in British Columbia for a few years now and have not done this hike! This is a staple when coming to BC. You have to hike Joffre Lakes!💯 And we'll show you guys how to do it😉

[@larent9086]

Yeah guys, we saw you up there at Joffre Lake. 👍😂

[@NatandMax]

Haha met a few of you guys on the trail. Hope we managed to say hi to you, did we?😅

[@jacquelineyoung-canada3168]

Dear Max, I have been wishing to hike this for years, but need to have an experienced hiker to do it with. Those steps to Middle Lake, I would not be able to make it without you pulling me up, like you did with Nat.

[@jacquelineyoung-canada3168]

A good video showing in detail the whole journey from Lower, Middle to Upper Lakes. It is one I have been looking for. Great job 👍

[@NatandMax]

Glad you appreciate the video!😊 It was honestly one of the best hikes we’ve done here in BC. And it was nice that we were able to document the experience✨

[@rahat-khanna]

Amazing shots of the lakes and the nature. It’s so good that you did that extra effort to go there.

[@NatandMax]

Thanks Rahat! We didn’t think we had enough energy within us tbh💯 But thankful we got it done ✅

[@upndown-traveling]

[@NatandMax]

Thanks for watching Up’n’Down-Traveling!❤️😊

[@chrisb8434]

Amazing video Nat and Max! Those lakes look incredible.

[@NatandMax]

Thanks Chris! The hike was definitely worth it!❤️

[@milesawayii1984]

Amazing vid! Very nice view! Great job in finding the right spot for lunch, hahaha

[@NatandMax]

Thanks Jennelyn!🙏 It was tough but we were able to push through😊

[@dhikasatriapratyangga4986]

Good video! Just curious, where did you guys get the triangle sushi? Good idea to bring them for lunch

[@NatandMax]

Thank you! We bought it from a Japanese grocery store in Richmond(sorry can’t recall the name🥲) but you can also find these in H Marts and T&Ts🙂

[@dhikasatriapratyangga4986]

Thank you! We are going there next week. This video is really helpful

[@mech1868]

Thank for your video , great work!👍

[@NatandMax]

Thanks! Can’t wait to go back😊❤️

[@timharris9774]

You guys make the best videos of BC!!

[@NatandMax]

Aw thanks Tim!😊❤️❤️❤️

[@amyviviano8501]

Wow this hike is gorgeous! 😊 I've actually not heard of this place! Going on the list! Max's face at the end 😂

[@NatandMax]

Woohoo for the next long weekend getaway!🙌 Haha she wasn’t too happy🤣

[@jacquelineyoung-canada3168]

What date and day was your hike? Usually I read that hikers tried to arrive at the car park before 7am !

[@NatandMax]

This was around September during a weekend🙂 That’s true! The earlier the better because parking is limited. I think theres also a reservation system nowadays to limit the people coming to the park so you might have a better experience even if you come later😊

[@julianakf]

Amazing hike! I love the video and the sushi idea!

[@NatandMax]

Knowing we can eat the sushi at the end kept us going😂

[@GreenOutdoorsPNW]

You can actually hike to the Glacier. It’s pretty rough. I got halfway up and decided to turn around. Joffre Lakes is one of my favorite hikes I’ve ever done

[@NatandMax]

Kudos to you for even making it up half way! We saw people climbing the glacier too when we did the hike and were pretty impressed. We’re someone likely to stay on the safe side though😄

[@GreenOutdoorsPNW]

@@NatandMax It was a rough go. I wasn't wearing my boots and I was slipping on the way up and running out of time.

[@NickandRachel]

Sure is beautiful out there! Thanks for sharing this 🙌

[@NatandMax]

Tried our best to capture it but its so much better in person😊❤️ Thanks for watching!

[@NickandRachel]

@@NatandMax I know what you mean! We really enjoy coming our adventures also. Awesome job guys!

[@NatandMax]

We’re cut from the same cloth😊❤️ Thanks!

[@gemilynbenitez]

So excited to see you guys soon! And pumped to do this hike!! 💕

[@NatandMax]

Woohoo! You guy will love it!💯❤️✨

[@wendy2001]

Beautiful

[@NatandMax]

It was amazing✨

[@paulamartinelli4126]

Hi!! Is there any town near by to sleep at night or the closest destination is vancouver? thanks!

[@NatandMax]

Hi Paula! Pemberton BC is the closest town to Joffre Lakes🙂

[@jumilofiaza2402]

[@NatandMax]

Yas!! Let us know when you’re in town😊🙌

[@maduczkitchen4761]

wow npkgandang tanawin

[@NatandMax]

Thank you po😊

[@sijokjok]

Hey guys, just wondering, when approx did you guys go? Mid August? and if so was it a weekend? I'm planning to head there soon! Thanks for this video, it really helps when planning and knowing what to expect ahead!

[@NatandMax]

Hi!👋 Yes it was a weekend, on a Saturday on the last week of August😊 Feel free to ask us if you have any questions about the hike and we’ll try our best to answer them😊

[@Vancouver_Ohi]

Oh~~~we were at the same place! I loved it so much as well:)😄👍💥

[@NatandMax]

Nice! When did you guys go? Hopefully you guys got a nice sunny day too😊☀️

[@Vancouver_Ohi]

@@NatandMax Early Aug! You can check my video out if you are available:)

[@NatandMax]

We went mid Aug. Yes will checkout your video too😊❤️

[@MyWaywardLife]

Lol, When you pulled out the sushi with salmon I was totally thinking bear bait lol! Just saw the very last outtake where Nat proposed the the question as to who the bear will chase first 🤣 mean! Lol. And I was going to say what a good man you are and how much you watch out for Max!! 😂 Bad boy!! In all seriousness, I am glad you both are okay and survived it with no encounters and am grateful you pushed another 30mins so you could give us such a secluded, one of a kind experience, beyond the gram 🤗🙏🏽. I am curious how tall you are Max? I am only 5’2” and worry about how steep those steps were! They should install a pull rope to help us little ones 😁. I would actually love to see some day or overnight spa tours of BC mixed in with the physical activity! You definitely earned it!!

[@NatandMax]

Auntie K!!🤣 We didn’t really thought of the salmon being bear bait until you brought it up now😂 Thankfully we didn’t encounter one😁 I’m 5’3” and the steps were so steep!😂 I found myself trying to sit on the stairs and boulders(with a little push from Nat) just to get up there😅 We had so much fun and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it too when you get a chance❤️❤️❤️

[@wendy2001]

How long you two have been doing hiking

[@NatandMax]

We do it occasionally😅

[@navdeepnavu4697]

Great video.. however, for anyone new looking to hike this trail, it is a very safe and 'busy' trail (compared to so many others)). Also, veryyyyy popular and beautiful. Almost everyone who has joined a hiking group on fbook knows about the lake and hiked it at some point. It is soooo popular that the day passes in summer (free) are sold out very fast. Never at any point u have to worry about not finding ur way to the lake for u will literally see a train of people on the way especially if u r going in summer. I have seen the beginners doing it- provided u take multiple breaks... the elevation is steep at times but alllll my friends new to hiking or even new to the country ended up finishing the hike easily. Many people stop at lake 2 which is equally rewarding

[@NatandMax]

Thanks for the additional information Navdeep! 😊

[@Halivan]

I have one complaint- I wish you guys uploaded more than once a week! 😂 Thanks for another great vid!

[@NatandMax]

Haha we appreciate the demand!😂 Hoping we get more efficient on editing so we can pump out more content❤️

[@haquenawazcheema6547]

Is it advisable to have Bear spray with you while hiking on this trail Stay safe and stay blessed

[@NatandMax]

Hi Haque! Although its unlikely to see bears because of how busy the trail is, we would say yes, always take any safety measure with you on any hikes if you have them😊
