Mt Robson

So there we were, standing in the carpark with this in front of us....


That there is Mt Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, standing at 3954m (thats higher than Mt Cook). We are left with one thing on our mind - time to dominate! and dominate we did...

We set off on a journey recommended by all, with promising weather predicted we set off at full speed...

Our map, we covered nearly 60km of ground in 3 days

The track was pretty well maintained (which made a hasty pace) we got to the shelter in 6 hours (20km away). This track kept us overwhelmed with so much to see...





After the big hike and arriving while snowing outside, we were plesantly suprised to find an awesome cabin located right outside the Berg Glacier and lake.

From hearing there we good weather due, we plan to do a day hike to a pass fromt the cabin...

Turns out the weather didnt hold out for spectular galcial viewing, with some gaps in the snow squalls we still enjoyed the adventure


Shaun being the tiger that he is...grrr


This is the toe of the Robson Glacier, Shuan and Chris are scoping it out



Chris once agin keeps up the hygiene...brrr



There she blows the veiw of Mt Robson from the Cabin, the weather finally came round for a magical day hiking back out
