This is the 5 days and 4 nights myself and 5 friends spent hiking Berg Lake Trail, Snowbird Pass, and other day hikes. This is one of the most beautiful and stunning hikes in the Canadian Rockies. I highly recommend it if you're thinking about Canadian Rockies backpacking! We hiked the trail from July 10-14 in 2019.

Snowbird pass is a must-do! Also don't miss Toboggan Falls!

@JustinOutdoors 5 лет назад

Toboggan Falls was actually a really cool pleasant surprise!

@Greg-bz2bf 10 месяцев назад

I did a similar 5-day hike around Berg Lake about 35 years ago. Your video brought back wonderful memories. We were fortunate to see the summit of Mt. Robson a few times through the clouds; we had similar weather. 😊 Cheers.

@HM-gk3rq 4 года назад

Loved this place. My daughter said “thanks for bringing me here” on the way down. We weren’t planning on going all the way to Snowbird pass but some little kids were doing it so we pushed ourselves to do it. So glad we did. We did toboggan falls route the other way. It was fun to climb up! When we were heading up the people coming out hadn’t gotten to see all of Mt. Robson for their whole trip. We were thankful for the times we did get blue skies. Great video. This is the kind of video I was looking for before we did our hike.

We watched this vlog on our TV using youtube option and came here to post this message. This is an excellent vlog, very detailed, and very informative. We may not be able to do it, but perhaps find a way to at least visit some scenic spots that you shared, for example, those of several waterfalls falling from mountain tops at intervals. Btw, we are from Ontario and have been hiking in Ontario and lot more in Quebec.

Hey Justin, I'm new to your channel. I'm super happy I found you as you seem like a really good dude. Absolutely loved the video and I'm totally jealous btw. Looked like it was a wonderful trip! Just curious, do they allow camp fires at any of the sites?

@JustinOutdoors 5 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words! It was an AMAZING trip. No campfires at any of the sites unfortunately. Some of the shelters have wood stoves, but those are only for emergency use.

@BackcountryForward 4 года назад

At 20:58 I definitely thought you said "I thought a reindeer was shining a light in my tent" and watched it 3 times to realize you said RANGER! hahaha. Snowbird pass looked AMAZING! How difficult would you genuinely rate it.

@JustinOutdoors 4 года назад

Berg Lake is patrolled by reindeers, didn't ya know eh! Snowbird pass would be moderate difficulty just because of the length, but you're doing it with minimal pack weight. Overall, I'd say Berg Lake Trail is also moderate - a steep section after Whitehorn but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. People were hiking it in rubber boots carrying 8 lbs tents.

Climate cycles man. Glaciers have been melting in areas and gaining in others. I mean after all, we aren't still in an ice age

@JustinOutdoors Год назад

Where have they been gaining?

@6030jdr Год назад

@@JustinOutdoors Greenland is o e I read about. East Antarctica has gained at record levels

@JustinOutdoors Год назад

@@6030jdr The greenland ice sheet is losing mass pretty significantly (www.scientificamerican.com/article/greenland-is-disappearing-quickly-and-scientists-have-found-a-new-reason-why/). For Antarctica, the rate of loss has been increasing, but not at a pace more than the increase in ice accumulation (like you said, for the east). The increase in accumulation is due to warmer temperatures, which has increased snowfall. It's estimated that in 20-30 years, the increased melt will start outpacing the increased accumulation.

@philseaker5808 2 года назад

I climbed this trail twice in the 1980s. They've definitely changed part of the trail between Kinney Lake and the White Falls. The suspension bridge used to be further up the trail, across a more violent part of the river, and we crossed it the other way (river coming down from the right side). I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the original bridge was wiped out by a flood one year and they had to rebuild it. They must've changed the trail then.

@chrismetcalf1261 4 года назад

I did the Emperor Falls hike as a day hike with some friends from Edmonton about 6 years ago. I loved the views. They were so amazing it's almost impossible to put it into words. Watching this really makes me want to find a friend or 2 and do the trip over a few days like you have. Even if the views do not compel people to go, the expressions on each and everyone of your faces should be a sign.

@rickszabo4312 3 года назад

I'm a little anal when it comes to place names, at 4:57 that was Whitehorn ,Robson is to your left but you are just below it, You are in the valley of 10,000 waterfalls and in the evening if you go out towards the river you can spot mountain goats looking for a place to sleep on the ledges. Your right though it's a must do hike, but they closed it in August this year to severe melt from the glaciers, the bridges and trail are damaged by flooding.

Hello.. i am going next month but we have reservations for June 19th, 20th and 22nd on near berg lake and there are none spots are available for 21st of June. Can you help me if we stay over there on 21st without reservation or will be any consequences?

@JustinOutdoors 3 года назад

I never recommend going to campsites without a reservation. If you show up without a reservation, you'll be taking a tent pad from someone who has a reservation. There are also a lot of wardens along Berg Lake who will not hesitate to make you walk out back to your car immediately.

@btucks018 4 года назад

Hello Justin! Great video, you have sold me on my next backpacking trip. On this trail, Do you need to book campsites ahead of time? Can you stay at a single campsite for multiple nights? What did you bring for bear protection, food storage? Thanks in advance.

@JustinOutdoors 4 года назад

Hey Bret! You do need to book campsites in advance. Bookings open October 1 the fall before. By this point, most sites are booked. You can stay at a single campsite multiple nights for sure. I brought bearspray for bear protection and hiked in a group. Every campsite has bear lockers for food.

Hey Justin great channel! Curious if you opted for the tungsten ul over the lanshan on this trip for any specific reason? I have the tungsten 3 (not the UL so over 6lbs) and was considering picking up the lanshan 2 for this hike (bit too tall for the 1 I think). I guess I’m just curious if there are drawbacks to that type of tent on this kind of trip that I’m not considering before I make a purchase. Thanks!

@JustinOutdoors 3 года назад

I didn't have a Lanshan 2 at the time and wanted the extra space over the Lanshan 1 since I know we'd be setting up base camps! The Lanshan would be a bit tougher to set up on the wooden platforms which you find at some of the sites.

Wow! This looked amazing! If I ever make it to the Canadian Rockies, this will have to be on my list. Can I ask about bugs? Are mosquitoes, black flies, and/or ticks an issue in that area in June/July? They're insane here in Maine, but I didn't see any indication of them in your video. I've seen other videos of other locations where they swarm the camera and the person. If they are an issue there too, any suggestions for how to deal with them? Also, can you do the hike solo, or should you always be in a group for bear safety? Thanks for the great video! :) Paula

Some places and at specific times can be bad for bugs, but over all I don't find them bad at all. I probably put on bug spray twice all summer. You can do the hike solo, just be bear aware. Lots of talking to yourself!

Amazing video! I’m looking to do this trail next year, I have a couple questions -What places on the trail did you fill up your water? (Between the campsites, at the campsites)And did you boil/treat the water before you drank it? -in the bear lockers, do you need to put your food in a plastic bag, or anything? -did you leave your packs in your tent when you left for the day hike? Is it safe to leave your belongings in the tent, or is there a specific place to leave them at berg campground. Thank you again! Loved the video, so excited for next year!!

@JustinOutdoors 4 года назад

You'll have a blast! 1) I filled up anywhere I found water! I used a Sawyer Squeeze filter to treat the water. 2) I put my food in a MEC nano drybag. Most people did the same, so I'd maybe label your bag with a sharpy. 3) We left our packs in the Berg Lake shelter. I'd feel safe leaving stuff in my tent as well, but we were going to a different campsite after.
