Mount Robson Provincial Park features diverse hiking routes suitable to all skill and fitness levels.
Take a short jaunt on well-marked trails or venture into the mountains for extended backcountry trips. In nearby Valemount, hire a local guide or charter a helicopter from Robson HeliMagic to access remote alpine areas.
Easy Hikes
The Fraser River Nature Walk is a 2km/1.2mi easy stroll, which begins at site #39, Robson Meadows Campground. Bring binoculars and spot mountain goats to the southeast on Mount Klapperhom, or cast a line for rainbow trout or bull trout in the large pool below the ridge. The trail ends by Robson Meadows campground entrance.
Other easy hikes include the 4.5km/2.8mi Kinney Lake Trail and the 5km/3mi (round trip) Overlander Falls Trail. Steep sections of the latter trail are lined by guardrails.

Moderate and Advanced Hikes
While relatively easy to navigate, the Berg Lake Trail is quite lengthy at 44km/27mi. A round-trip takes two days to complete. Berg Lake Trail leads to Kinney Lake and the base of Mount Robson before entering a valley with spectacular waterfalls. The trail ends at Berg Lake at an elevation of 1,628m/5,341ft. However, it is possible to continue from the lake on a seven-day hike into Alberta's Jasper National Park. The first half of Berg Lake Trail is also accessible by mountain bike.
Guided Hiking and Heli-Hiking
Advanced climbers can access the top of Mount Robson accompanied by expert guides from Yamnuska Mountain Adventures. The company also has a fly-in hiking option into otherwise inaccessible regions of Mount Robson Provincial Park. Mount Robson summit is surrounded by broken glaciers, icefalls, and tangled rainforest, making it a definite challenge, even for expert climbers. In fact, only 10% of attempts reach the summit.
Robson HeliMagic, stationed at the Valemount airport, also take hikers deep into the Selwyn Range of the Rocky Mountains, just outside the Mount Robson Provincial Park.
Wildlife Viewing
On lower elevation trails, expect to see mule deer, whitetail deer, moose, elk, and black bears. On higher trails, grizzly bears, caribou, mountain goats, and mountain sheep are possible sightings. Wildlife observation areas and viewing points are located throughout the park.
Stop by the Mount Robson Provincial Park Visitor Centre for more information about hiking opportunities in the area.
