Mount Robson

Mount Robson reaches an elevation of 3,954 meters, making it the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies with steep slopes and glaciated terrain.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred on July 31, 1913, when William Foster, Albert McCarthy, and Conrad Kain completed their pioneering expedition.

The Secwepemc people named this mountain Yexyexéscen, which translates to striped rock, referring to the distinct geological formations visible on its surface.

Only ten percent of climbing attempts reach the summit due to frequent storms, heavy snowfall, and rapidly changing weather conditions throughout the year.

The Berg Glacier flows from Mount Robson directly into Berg Lake at 1,646 meters, creating a rare phenomenon of glacier ice meeting lake water.
