First, you will want to check-in at the Mount Robson Provincial Park ranger station. They will provide you with your official pass for camping at your designated site as well as give you the most up-to-date weather conditions. They will also have an insight into recent bear sightings and other tips for the hike. As well, you are required to watch a minute video in the ranger station prior to the hike which outlines bear safety, camping rules, and a few other local tips for the trail.
Give yourself a couple of hours to reach Kinney Lake Campground from the parking lot. The trail is not too steep and only 7 km long, but you will be greeted with spectacular views of Mount Robson along the way as well as gorgeous views of Kinney Lake itself. Give yourself time to take some pictures and save energy prior to the big day hike tomorrow! This will save you some time and energy and will be really nice to have for coming down the trail at the end.
There are even bike racks at Kinney Lake Campground to lock your bike up. We hiked it and were totally fine ourselves! You will be hiking through various campgrounds, see massive glaciers next to you, and be in awe of the magnificent waterfalls in the surrounding valleys and peaks.
Bring lots of water tablets with you! The first section of the trail is 4 km and runs from Kinney Lake Campground up to Whitehorn Campground. It took us about 1. There is a shelter at Whitehorn Campground where you can take a rest, warm-up, and have a bite to eat to keep your energy high.
Take a moment here to bask in the beautiful scenery with cascading waterfalls and panoramic glaciers surrounding you. The next part of the trail will be steep and you will not have access to water, so fill up at Whitehorn before heading up towards Emperor Falls! This is the steepest section of the trail, but it will be so worth it when you get to the top!
Emperor Falls is waiting for you as a reward. This section took us about 2 hours and was very slow going. We climbed up switchbacks the majority of the time and saw numerous waterfalls on our right-hand side as we took a few rest stops. You will come to a ridge near the end of the switchbacks and be greeted with a magnificent view of Mount Robson from the side with Emperor Falls below it. A truly magical point to take a rest before your final ascent up towards Berg Lake.
It is mainly a walk through the woods until you reach the edge of the glacier. When you reach the exposed glacier and riverbed, you will start to hear glaciers breaking. A truly wild great from the great Mount Robson!
Marmot Campground lies right on the edge of Berg Lake. Take a rest here before making your last leg of the hike on the relatively flat lakeside trail to the final viewpoint of Mount Robson.
Early the second day pack your backpack and head to the Berg Lake campsite which will be your base for exploring the area. It's only further 2 km easy stroll through the forest along the western side of Berg lake. I highly recommend staying 2 nights at the Berg Lake Campsite to get a good taste of what the park has got to offer and to be able to explore beyond the trail.
There are few day hikes you can do from the Berg Lake campsite which offer spectacular views of the surrounding areas. Just look at the photos above. Below information source: BC Parks.

Guys following my site you should check out the men's version. Getting a good nights rest after hiking with a heavy load the whole day is essential.
This sleeping pad will not only keep you insulated from the ground, but it will keep you comfy too. My advice is to go with the larger size! I've had this tent for years now and used it for 3 weeks in Iceland, where it was tested against some crazy winds, as well as for every single backpacking trip I did in the Rockies. So far I have no tears and all the poles are still intact. Grab a tent footprint too, to prolong the life of your tent. Black Diamond Carbon Trekking Poles.
I recently left my pair on a parking lot after the hike and drove off. When I noticed my mistake it was too late to go back. I couldn't get over it for a whole week, I ordered a second pair without any hesitation. At grams a pair their weight is hard to beat. This folding canister stove is my constant companion on any backpacking trip ensuring I have hot meals every evening of my trip.
