Mount Robson Park is one of B.C.’s most popular destinations. Whether you are looking for frontcountry camping or multi-day hikes, this park offers many opportunities. Top attractions include Berg Lake Trail, Mount Robson Summit, and Mount Robson Corridor.
Berg Lake Trail
The Berg Lake Trail is a backcountry hiking route featuring some of the finest scenery in British Columbia. It is world renowned for offering extraordinary multi-day hiking adventures to beginners and experienced wilderness hikers alike.
Mount Robson summit
Mount Robson itself guards the park’s western entrance. At 3,954 m, it is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towering over the surrounding peaks. Winter or summer, this is one of the finest views in the Rocky Mountains.
Mount Robson Park has more than 3 km of elevation change. It rises from the valley of the Fraser River (at approximately 800 m) to the summit of Mount Robson (at 3954 m).
Mount Robson Corridor
The 63 km Mount Robson Corridor moves generally east-west through the middle section of the park, along Highway 16 (Yellowhead). A wide range of facilities, from peaceful campgrounds to walks and exciting hikes, are available here.
Driving through, you will see incredible views of the area’s mountains, creeks, wetlands, and valleys. Please do not let the scenery and roadside wildlife distract you from driving safely and responsibly.
Nature Up Close and Personal
Forget about looking at nature shows on television. Grab some binoculars and watch majestic creatures, big and small, go about their lives. There are over 180 species of birds here, from majestic golden eagles, to American Pipits, Hammond Flycatchers, Rufous Hummingbirds and grey Owls. There are 42 species of mammals found in the park, from the valley and wetland-loving moose, to the mountain goats in the alpine. Both black and grizzly bear make a home in the park, as do elk, deer, wolf, and coyote.
Hiking and Camping in Mount Robson Provincial Park
With a park this large it’s a given that you’ll find spectacular spaces to spend the night. Awaken your inner adventurer with a hiking and camping excursion to Berg Lake on the Berg Lake Trail. There are seven campgrounds along the way. This world renowned backcountry trail gains 800 m (2,624 ft) in 23 km (14 mi) and crosses three biogeoclimatic zones. You’ll find spectacular scenery along the trail, but few amenities. Beyond Kinney Lake, make your way into the Valley of a Thousands Falls where you’ll watch the Mist, Berg and Robson glaciers as they break off into the turquoise waters of Berg Lake. This is a popular hiking and camping destination so we recommend reserving your spot.
Mount Robson in Winter
Once the snow falls, strap on your snowshoes and explore some of the Canada’s most spectacular hiking trails. In winter, these trails become works of art as the snow falls, covering the lushness in a soundproof cocoon. Explore how seasons change the shape of the landscape as you snowshoe along Kinney Lake Trail. Work your way through the old-growth cedar and hemlock forest that follow Robson River to the lake, and when you get to the trail’s peak, stop and listen. Close your eyes and feel your heart rate slow as you experience the ultimate Canadian winter wilderness.
