The trail climbs gradually alongside the Robson River (a tributary of the
Fraser River) for before reaching
Kinney Lake. After crossing a steel bridge at the end of Kinney Lake, it is just to the Kinney Lake
campground. After leaving the
Kinney Lake campground the trail climbs and then descends a small bluff. After descending the bluff the trail splits for less than a kilometre, giving the hiker the option of traversing the flats, which is not recommended in the early summer because of high water, or continuing on in the forest. At the end of the Kinney Lake flats the trail starts climbing up to the Valley of a Thousand Falls. After several kilometres the trail crosses the
Robson River on a suspension bridge and enters Whitehorn
campground at the mark. After leaving the campground the trail eventually crosses a second steel bridge. At this point the trail starts a steep climb with numerous switchbacks. Over the next few kilometres, the trail passes White Falls, Falls-of-the-Pool and
Emperor Falls. Finally, once above this valley, the trail levels off and dips down toward the river, providing the first glimpses of the Emperor Face of Mt. Robson. After climbing just over in , the trail enters Emperor
campground. From here the trail continues on until reaching the shores of Berg Lake and Marmot
campground. If you carry on a further you will reach Berg Lake
campground. There are three popular day trips from this
campground, Hargeaves Glacier/Mumm Basin Traverse,
Toboggan Falls and
Snowbird Pass. At the mark and mark there are two more
campgrounds, Rearguard and Robson Pass. ==See also==
