Backpacking in Mt. Robson Provincial Park
The Berg Lake trail in Mt. Robson Provincial Park is a famous, beautiful backpacking trail. Unfortunately, it also gets about 200 people a day hiking the darn thing so we went to nearby Mt. Fitzwilliam trail instead. When we signed in on Aug. 15th, no one had signed in before us since the 12th. So it’s a lot less used, to say the least. We hiked in, spent the night, hiked back to the end of the trail, and went back to our campsite. We intended on spending another night at our campsite but we were becoming suspicious that our water source was not all that great. Since we’d been drinking the stream water, even though we’d purified it, we kept feeling dehydrated. It looked pretty mineral-y so we thought maybe it actually had something like salt in it and we weren’t helping ourselves by drinking lots of it. So we hiked out that day. Drinking dodgy water just kind of ruins the fun of a backpacking trip.
