Hi, I am from Ontario. I don’t do a-lot of hikes but I really liked the Joffre lake hike. I was planning to go for 5040 peak in the Vancouver island tomorrow.

Is Saturday a good day? Will there be other Hikers?

Is it safe from bears? I do plan on carrying Bear Spray and air horn.

Is it okay in this weather? Its a little rainy and sometimes it rains heavy for like 5-10 min then it stops.

I just don’t want to be alone with the bears.

Thanks for any tips for this hike.

Update:

I went today. No bears. A lot of people. No views of anything.

I saw a bear cub going home while driving out from the mt.

Kept air horn. Downloaded map on all trails(which actually helped and recommend) it was a good trail. Too steep, felt like mountain climbing. But was fun overall.
