Join me for a summit hike to Duffey Peak near Joffre Lakes! This 14 km round-trip trail features steep climbs, rocky sections, and some off-trail navigation. Along the way, we’ll pass alpine meadows, rugged ridgelines, and take in incredible views of glacier-capped peaks and turquoise lakes. From the summit, you’ll enjoy 360 views of Joffre Peak, Matier Glacier, Slalok Mountain, Duffey Lake, and the surrounding Coast Mountains. Let me know if you're interested in joining.
