The Berg Lake Trail is one of the most beloved multi-day hikes in the Canadian Rockies, famed for its up the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 meters. Located in British Columbia's Mount Robson Provincial Park, the trail climbs through a dramatic range of ecosystems, from dense cedar forests and alpine meadows to glacial valleys. Hikers are treated to turquoise lakes, towering waterfalls, and the awe-inspiring sight of Berg Lake itself, where chunks of ice calve off the Robson Glacier and float across the water. The trail is well-maintained and clearly marked, with a series of designated backcountry campgrounds - camping is required, and reservations are mandatory due to high demand and conservation efforts. Did you know? The Berg Lake Trail crosses the Valley of a Thousand Falls, where you can see waterfalls plunging from hanging valleys fed by glacial meltwater—some of them cascading over 100 meters.

What a magnificent hike. After two weeks of knee issues and cancelled hikes on my trip to Canada, I was told to try my utmost to prepare for this hike, as it was to be the cherry on the cake of this holiday. And boy, did it deliver. Good weather, good knees, and some of the most beautiful sightings that I had seen until then.
