This was our highest camp, though we did day hikes from this area to much higher elevations. Mount Robson is said to be free from clouds only seven days in a year and this was what we typically saw while at the camp. The glacier is very active, constantly calving into the lake below. We often heard it at night and the lake almost always had icebergs floating in it, hence the name. I should have added earlier that Mount Robson is the highest peak in Canada at 3,954 meters.

Berg Glacier is one the glaciers that flows from Mount Robson. This glacier is constantly calving into Berg Lake.

In Explore August 4, 2009, #92. The last day of our stay at Berg Lake we woke to clear skies and this view of the lake, the glacier and the mountain. The saying is that Mount Robson is completely visible only seven days out of the year. This must have been one of those seven days.

It was hard to stop taking pictures of Mount Robson the day the weather cleared. This picture is taken from Berg Camp at the north end of Berg Lake which can just be seen along with some of the icebergs floating on the lake.

In Explore August 7, 2009, #94. On the last day of our stay at Berg Lake we hiked to the west of Berg Lake, up and across the ridge that brought us to Hargreaves Lake and Glacier. The views of Mount Robson and Berg Lake were superb and the trail, though still snow-covered in places was a garden of wildflowers. All in all a fitting end to a wonderful trip.

In Explore July 25, 2011, #353. Amerorchis rotundifolia, the Small Round-leaf Orchis, does not grow in Washington State. This plant was photographed in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia where it grows by the thousands. In the place where this plant was photographed it was impossible to take a step without crushing some of the plants. The photo was taken early in the morning when the flowers were covered with dew or rain from the night before. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2011/07/a...

Red Columbine is common in the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies but it always beautiful. This flower was photographed along the Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. The photo was taken by my wife. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/08/canadian-ro...

This was photographed along the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia. I was intrigued by the unusual way in which it carried its seeds. I had no idea what this was, but it has been identified by Fizgig, the wizard of plants, as Mitella nuda, the Naked Mitrewort. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-berg-la...

In August we visited our children and grandchildren in Edmonton and on the way home spent a day hiking in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia. We hiked the Berg Lake trail as far as Whitehorn Basin where we had lunch and a rest before hiking out again. This view looks north from the campsites at Whitehorn and up the Valley of a Thousand Falls with Mount Phillips in the background. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-berg-la...

Taken along the Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park last August. My friend, Fizzie, has identified this as the Giant Hogweed, Heracleum mantegazzianum, a plant that can cause severe allergic reactions. I'm glad we didn't touch it. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-berg-la...
