Mount Robson Provincial Park


Kinney Lake on the Berg lake trail
Kinney Lake
My brother and I explored Mount Robson Park in late September hiking along the Berg Lake trail. An aggressive three day trip from Edmonton with ten hours of driving and close to 40 miles of hiking

Emperor Falls hike on the Berg Lake trail
Emperor Falls
We had several days of sunshine and no wind. The storms from the previous week had Emperor Falls going strong late in the season.
Berg Lake Trail next to Mount Robson
We camped for two nights at the popular Berg Lake Campground, the other campsites along the trail were mostly empty in late September.
Night hike up Mumm Basin
My favorite memory from our time in the park was the night climb to Mumm Basin for sunrise (4 miles return, 1000ft).

Snowbird Pass hike above the Robson Glacier on the Berg Lake hike
Robson Glacier
The longest dayhike from camp at Berg Lake goes to Snowbird Pass (14 miles return, 2500ft). The trail goes above and alongside the Robson Glacier, where we stopped to have lunch before climbing further to the pass.

The British Columbia/Alberta divide at the top of the pass.  The enormity of the Reef Icefield is impressive, ice stretching as far as we could see in both directions.
