The Best Vancouver Hiking Trails
Rohr Lake is a moderate to difficult hike near Pemberton. The trail begins just past the parking area for Joffre Lakes along the Duffy Lake Highway.
Rohr Lake itself is a beautiful turquoise colour. From the far end of Rohr Lake, sitting below Rohr Mountain, you get a picturesque vantage point of the lake. Cayoosh Mountain is seen prominently in the backdrop.
Nairn Falls is an easy hike leading to an impressive waterfall in Nairn Falls Provincial Park, located in Pemberton.
The trail is easy enough that it’s a great family hiking option. The trail leads 1.5 km to two viewing platforms overlooking the upper and lower falls.
A hike to Nairn Falls is the perfect outing if you’re camping in the park or passing between Whistler and Pemberton. The hike is easy to access and short enough it can be done without a ton of planning or time.
Joffre Lakes is a popular hike located just north of Pemberton in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Easy trailhead access and gorgeous views make this a busy and well-traveled trail during the summer. It is also a popular destination for ice climbers during the winter months for the same reasons.
Joffre Lakes offers a little bit of everything you could want in a day hike. At 10 km, it’s not too long, but with a steady uphill climb and several technical sections, it still offers a challenge. There are three turquoise, glacier-fed lakes, each more spectacular than the last.
