Mount Robson, Accommodation

Located 5 km west from the Mount Robson Visitors Information Center is the Mount Robson Lodge cabins and campground. At this location, there are cozy cabins to share with family or friends. Each cabin is outfitted with electricity, small kitchenettes, bathroom linens, a bathroom and a small patio. My family and I just returned from a vacation and we stayed at one of the smaller cabins and had a clear view of the peak of Mount Robson! At many times in the year, clouds will cover the top of the mountain, but we were lucky enough to stay at a location where we could clearly see the peak! While staying at the cabins, we also had a chance to go Whitewater Rafting with Mount Robson Whitewater Rafting at the same venue! Staying at this location was sure a treat and I suggest it to all that are interested in staying out of the city and closer to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies!

If you're looking for a place to lay down your head in the Robson Valley area and prefer smaller crowds than what can be found in most provincial parks - Tete Jaune Lodge is a great choice. Multiple different sleeping accommodations are available, including; tent and RV spots, tepees and cabins, as well as a backpacker’s hostel. The premises also include a superb restaurant called, The Riverside Cafe - aptly named as the lodge site sits directly alongside the Fraser River. Two weeks ago I stayed at the Tete Jaune Lodge while exploring the Valemount and Mt. Robson areas. It is perfectly placed between the two as well as nearby many great area hikes. Located right next door is the Stellar Descents Rafting company, and I highly suggest booking a trip while you're in the area.
