This trail is about a 3-hour drive to the east (a 3-hour tour… a 3-hour tour) from Prince George BC. I snowshoed the Berg Lake trail to the north end of Whitehorn basin to the waterfalls by the old metal bridge that is no longer there as well as up close to Berg Lake itself! The trail is now open for winter, all the way to Berg Lake since the area is covered in ice and snow the summertime dangers are generally not an issue, though avalanches are definitely common here. There are numerous water sources but no cell signal in the area. This hike is world class offering incredible views, camping, and hiking possibilities, so make sure to check the BC Parks website for the latest information and closures: https://bcparks.ca/mount-robson-park/.
