a postcard from Joffre Lakes Provincial Park...

Yesterday we hiked where we had never been before...


...in the beautiful wilderness of British Columbia north of Whistler.

With its magnificent glacial peaks, cold rushing streams and turquoise lakes...
this area only became a provincial park in 1996.

Joffre Lakes...there are three of them.
Check them out if you are ever in the area.

Oh...and come with proper footwear.
We saw someone attempting the steep trail with flip flops.
Not a good idea!

  8. I think we live in the most beautiful place in the world. We're looking forward to a little hiking in the Rockies later this month.

    Doesn't that view just make your soul sing?
