Berg Lake Trail
Situated in the heart of Mount Robson Provincial Park,
the Berg Lake Trail is a world-renowned moderate
back-country hiking trail that showcases the very best
Canadian mountains and undulating lush valleys in
British Columbia. Drawing in backpackers from across
the globe, the trail’s trademark features maintain the
turquoise-coloured Berg Lake, adorned with icebergs
set against the glistening backdrop of the towering
Mount Robson.
Berg Lake Trail can often be completed in one day,
taking on average one-and-a-half hours to reach
Kinney Lake and providing a 42km round trip hike.
Hikers can expect to wind through rainforests filled
with stunning old cedar trees, captivating flora and
fauna indicative of the region, and well-maintained
paths that are rich in blueberries for the bear
inhabitants. Make sure to bring bear-proof food
containers and bear spray – although, don’t fret too
much, as these mighty creatures remain a rare sight
here.
After emerging from the temperate alpine forest, the
path will guide you towards White Falls and Falls-of-
the-Pool. Marvel at the splendid beauty while gazing
at the multi-tiered cascade of water falling into its
plunge pool before making your way to the Valley
of a Thousand Falls for a teasing glimpse of Mount
Robson. Having arrived at Mount Robson, hikers
can opt to head up the mountain to meet the grand
finale of Emperor Falls and Berg Glacier tumbling
down the slopes into Kinney Lake. There are seven
campgrounds along the trail for those looking to
become a part of the stunning nature for a night
while enjoying an idyllic lakefront setting with the
best views of the glaciers.
