Located in Mount Robson park, this moderate hike is an ~8mile out and back trail at the amazing campground on the far shore of the stunning blue lake. Hiking this is a must do if you are traveling in the area. Is part of the larger berg lake trail. I continued on to whitehorse campground before it was closed due to avalanche blasting (i’ll post the video). Tomorrow I’ll post the trail from beyond just kinney lake trail, which i think is how I will break up trails that continue past.

When I hiked this on May 2nd, the melting runoff caused a temporary creek to flow into the lake, bringing with it large amounts of silt. The plume could be seen from across the lake and I thought it was just the coolest thing.

Extra photos are reflective lake surface with whitehorn mountain in the back ground, a view of the plume from up close, and the weird shoreline that gets built up on the outflow side. Shows how deep it gets so fast.

    This looks terrible… I’m so sad seeing such a magical place beeing slowly destroyed by global warming. It make me hate myself and every human on earth.

    Must have been a nice place to be before the industrial revolution…

      I could see maybe if you were looking at pictures of the Robson glacier on the other side, but what in OPs pictures made you have this response?

        Isn’t there supposed to be permafrost all over the mountain? It also seems there have been alot of avalanches who destroyed a good part of the trees.

        It also looks likes what happend in Switzerland a few weeks ago.
