1 day

Kinney Lake day trip

Trailhead to Kinney Lake and back, 14 km round trip on the easiest section of the rebuilt trail. The option when the campgrounds are booked out.

3 days

Classic three-day

Up to Whitehorn (11 km), on past Emperor Falls to Berg Lake (21 km) for the second night, then the long walk out. The standard trip most reservations are built around.

4 days

Four days with side routes

Two nights at Berg Lake or Robson Pass so you can walk Toboggan Falls, Mumm Basin or the Snowbird Pass route with a day pack instead of a full load.
