Emperor Falls

Emperor Falls is a waterfall in Mount Robson Provincial Park that plunges over a steep cliff face. The water strikes a natural ledge during its descent, sending spray outward in all directions.

This waterfall took shape over millions of years through glacial carving and the ongoing erosion of the rock. Natural forces continuously worked to create this feature of the mountain landscape.

Local First Nations communities have long regarded this section of the Robson River as a sacred place within their traditional territories.

To reach this waterfall, visitors hike on the Berg Lake Trail, which requires good physical fitness. The trail is well-marked and passes through different elevations, with most people spending several hours on the hike.

Water flows here consistently throughout all seasons because three large glaciers continuously feed the Robson River. This makes the location one of the most reliable spots to see flowing water regardless of the time of year.
