We did the Jake Lakes Trail hike on a beautiful, cool but dry, day in late September. There were plenty of available parking spots when we arrived around 10 am. The first 1 km is on paved road leading up to Heather Lake and several view points. The next 4ish km are mostly flat or downhill, with some good views. Trail itself is very well-maintained. Fall colours haven’t started yet, but more importantly, no snow and hardly any bugs (!) at that time of the year
It’s a steady incline once you reach the fork between Eva, Miller and Jade, but nothing super intense (although I can see how it would be a bit of a slog if you’re carrying a very heavy pack). At some point you will reach a meadow with a creek. Just follow the well-marked trail over rocky terrain which should lead you to Jade Pass.
We decided not to go all the way down to Jake Lake as we had to get home earlier that day, but if you have the time and are up for a good workout, I can imagine the way down and back up would be a worthwhile endeavor. Just note that in the fall when the daylight hours are shorter, it’s likely that Jade Lake and its surrounding area will be covered in shade for most, if not, the entire day.
