Mt Robson - Berg Lake Trail in Northern BC2026-Jan-10Snowshoe Packed

Kinney Lake trail is packed well enough to go just in boots until Kinney campground! Temps -3 to 0 midday today along the trail. Enjoy before the warmer temps soften the trail

I think there are lots of pictures of Berg lake trail, so I am just going to post the photos from Snowbird Pass and Mount Robson Glacier that I took recently - if you are taking the time to do the trail make sure you save a full day to do this, at 18km you need a spare day. Very weather dependent as the fog can extend out from the glacier and ruin the visibility and maybe make navigation back down difficult - but we got lucky this day - goats and all.

The Berg Lake trail is clear of snow all the way. The snow line is already quite high for this time of year.

Here’s a picture of the area near Robson Pass/Robson glacier from Monday.

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/.
