My summer job as an ambassador for ParkBus is drawing to a close, and I’ve met lots of interesting hikers from all over the world.

It’s great seeing so many people coming back to the bus after 3 – 6 hours on the trail with huge grins on their faces! Some may be tired, and snooze all the way back to Vancouver, but “we loved it!” is a nearly unanimous response to “how was your hike?”

Joffre Lakes is incredibly busy, and I’d say 98% of folks I’ve talked to appreciate the daypass system that was put in place to limit numbers of hikers.

Also thanks to the BC Parks Ambassadors who have staffed the trailhead all summer long. I’ve enjoyed chatting with them, they’ve been a great crew!

I have one more trip and I hope it’ll end on another lovely day like this one was.
