Mount Robson Park is in east-central British Columbia, just west of the Alberta border and Jasper National Park. BC Parks says it is one of the province's most popular destinations, with frontcountry camping, multi-day hikes, and the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
Mount Robson rises to 3,954 metres, while the park protects the Fraser River headwaters and is part of the Rocky Mountains UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mount Robson is a major Rockies destination for hikers, campers, climbers, wildlife watchers, and highway travellers. The Berg Lake Trail is world-renowned for multi-day backcountry hiking, and the Mount Robson Corridor follows Highway 16 for 63 kilometres through mountain, creek, wetland, and valley scenery.
The corridor offers campgrounds, short walks, waterfall stops, and salmon-viewing walks. Behind the Welcome Centre, the one-kilometre Journey Through Time interpretive trail is popular. Other highlights include Yellowhead Lake near Lucerne, east-end wilderness trails, wildlife viewing, and views of Mount Robson from the park's western entrance.
Camp, hike the Berg Lake Trail when open, walk campground trails, swim at Yellowhead Lake, fish from shore under current restrictions, watch wildlife, bike only where allowed, climb only if highly experienced, and snowshoe or ski on hiking routes in winter.
Check advisories before travel. The Berg Lake Trail has a permanent boil-water advisory, cell service is limited to the Welcome Centre, and watercraft and wading gear are prohibited to prevent whirling disease spread. Expect slippery rocks, cliffs, fast rivers, waterfalls, wildlife, winter hazards, and no off-road vehicle use.
