Hiking the New Reopened Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson after the flood in 2021!

Hey guys welcome back. Today we're in Mount Robson and we're gonna be doing the Berg Lake Trail. Yes this trail has been shut down since 2021 due to a flood and wiped out all the bridges. This is the first year it's been opened back up and we're pretty excited to actually get a reservation and to be able to get in here. So we're gonna be doing three days up here. First day we're gonna hike to Whitehorn and it's 11 kilometers and about 400 meters elevation and next day we're gonna go all the way to Berg and that's going to give us another 400 meters of elevation and another 10 kilometers. Once we get there we're gonna spend a couple of nights and we're going to do a couple day hikes from there. You'll be able to see some pretty epic scenery around here and we'll have some fun. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Mount Robson calls us home where the valley seems alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather heavy packs by shoulders deep steep trails when we Kinney Lake reflects our faces glacier water cold embraces tell me why we chase horizons while we leave what keeps us warm Mount Robson calls us home where the valley seems alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather green glacier water runs through fingers numb with cold raging rivers tell their stories of the brave feasting maps unfold tell me why we chase horizons while we leave what keeps us warm Mount Robson calls us home where the valley seems alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather heavy packs by shoulders deep steep trails when we Kinney Lake reflects our faces glacier water cold embraces tell me why we chase horizons while we leave what keeps us warm Mount Robson calls us home where the valley seems alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather okay so how would I rate the first kilometer of the new trail from Kinney Falls up to Whitehorn trail conditions awesome trail steepness sustained looking at a four out of five on the grunt scale if not close to a five but otherwise excellent trail so far our journey is not yet answers all our desperate calls Mount Robson calls us home where the valley seems alone every step we took together through the wild through any weather well good morning it was like torrential downpour from the time we got to camp to pretty much sun has finally come out and it just feels absolutely glorious up into the valley over here up over top of that peak over there to lots of campsites here in Whitehorn there is a shelter here which is good because then it is lots of place to make your dinners and kick back and relax for the evening especially when it's pouring rain for say all evening on the wrap it was spectacular up here to wake up to the sunshine coming out and I think the rest of the trip supposed to be fairly decent weather so hopefully that's gonna be awesome along the rest of the ride today's hike is from Whitehorn to Burgling going up like six or seven hundred meters and it's about nine kilometers something like that let's go have some fun question mark on this path I've never kept higher ground calling me to find what I can't see higher ground set me free from who I used to be Wow what a great bridge spectacular expanse over the entire part of the river there you see how all the way across the pretty good engineering feet after that the trail nice and smooth and cruisy until you get to where the old Emperor Falls bridge used to be and then we start the climb thunder crashes down the rocks waterfalls like broken trust mist and spray block the way but my legs keep pushing so the old bridge before the washout used to come along the other side of the river and they would come to here and they had a big steel bridge it would come across here but during the rock slide it actually the rocks came down and took the entire bridge out so they rerouted back to that previous bridge I showed you I can put it down I can't see what I can be found my ground I am free this is who I'm meant to be this is who I'm meant to be reflection on the war's face shows a stranger well if you've ever hiked the Burg Lake Trail before you'll know that the crux or the hardest part of the trail is up to Emperor Falls from Whitehorn and you're looking at about a five out of five on the grunt scale but about a ten out of ten on the on the views they're absolutely spectacular as you come up here so it's definitely worth it through the trees past the stream every step a question mark on this path I've never kept higher ground calling me to find what I can't see higher ground set falls like broken trust How are you enjoying the trip so far? It is incredible. Once in a lifetime experience. And not very like steep at all? No not at all. I'm walking the park. And you? Mrs. Crouch? Straight up. Then we got Billy Goat Tom up here like new knees and I just can't hold him back yeah mist and spray blocks away but my legs keep pushing through what they say I never must higher ground calling me to find what I can't see higher ground set me free from who I used to be the trail gets steep and rough when my lungs can barely breathe there's a voice inside my chest says this mountains what I need at the lake where glaciers meet stand beneath that giant crown crystal blue sky so true all the weight I carry here finally I can put it down found my ground I can't see what I can't be found my ground I am free well is that an amazing mountain or what? doesn't really get any better than that really think about it so that's Mount Robson we're at Berg Lake Berg Lake in front there we made it up from Whitehorn today it's about nine and a half kilometers and we did it 600 and something meters elevation gain it's definitely a bit of a grunt on the way up so be prepared for that but the views as you get up past Emperor Falls are absolutely outstanding so there's a reason why this is a world class hike and why there's people from all over the world up here so definitely recommend if you haven't done this to come up and give her a try I can't see what I can't be found my ground I am free this is who I'm meant to be this is who I'm meant to be hey guys good morning so today we're gonna do a couple of nice light day hikes we're gonna head first out to Snowbird Pass and gonna take a look at the toe of the glacier out there pretty spectacular as well and then if the afternoon is good we're gonna head up to Boggin Falls which is a must see if you come to Berg Lake that's where you're gonna see the big beautiful photos of Berg Lake and the Berg Lake Glacier so let's go check it out see how it goes streams run cold from ancient ice she moves forward through the scattered trees every breath becomes a choice who are we beneath these towering stones just one okay so if you have a look at the sign right here I believe this is the sign that used to say the toe of the glacier used to be here I think it was like 1920 or 30 I'll put the spec up on the screen later but you can imagine the glacier is way back in the distance now 70, 80, 90 years ago it was right here time slows down the winds pass simple gifts we cannot treasure snowbird waits across the valley wide distant patient coughed in white someone small beside its frozen side grateful for this fading light who are we beneath these towering stones just wanderers who found what we came for the mound that held us blessed these weary bones how we carried peace we've never known before that grows like the trail leads home something stays something wide in the heart we'll never mountains give the mountains child all right reaching the end of day two at Berg Lake and we're going to go tackle the Tamagot Falls this is a must do if you're going to be in this area the views of Berg Lake are fantastic at the top which we'll show you it's a bit of a climb but you can go as far as you like until you get the views that you like ancient peaks that pierce the blue we're climbing higher breathing deeper following mountain song every mile makes us believers this is where our hearts belong Berg Lake waiting up ahead worth every cheer we've shed higher high and never stop till we reach the very top Tamagot Falls comes into view water dancing down the stone nature's power rushing through makes me feel I'm not alone welcome to Tamagot Falls what do you think this is where the faith finding peace in this wild place we're climbing higher breathing deeper following mountain song every mile makes us believers this is where our hearts belong Berg Lake waiting up ahead valley spread below I wanna climb to see how far we'll go every step brings something new ancient peaks that pierce the blue we're climbing higher breathing deeper following mountain song every mile makes us believers this is where our hearts belong Berg Lake waiting up ahead tell me why we chase horizons why we leave what keeps us warm Mount Robson calls us home where the valley sings alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather green glacier water runs through fingers numb with cold raging rivers tell their stories of the brave of the bold well guys our three day trip is coming to an end we are at the last of our 22 kilometer day hiking down from Berg Lake trail is still in excellent shape weather cooperated for us pictures are worth a thousand words as you can see in the video this place is world renowned and epic highly recommend it to anyone families it's not that difficult it just takes a little fortitude hope you guys come up if you got any questions or comments or you want to leave your story put it in the box down below you can also check out our other videos for the Canadian Rockies we got a few up there and we'll catch you next time Cheers tell me why we chase horizons why we leave what keeps us warm Mount Robson calls us home where the valley sings alone every step we take together through the wild through any weather
