    I grew up with the mountains nearby and the beauty you find by hiking into remote areas is stunning. It's always sad for me to have the natural beauty enshrouded in smoke - something that happens more often now than in my youth. I can understand why you welcome the rain. Thanks for showing this and introducing peace into my life.

    Mount Robson is my favourite site in the Canadian Rockies. Not much of a camper and likely see Berg Lake via a helicopter one day. Did hike the trail and got as far as Whitehorn station before heading back to the parking lot for a day hike. Was very smoky in the area August 2018 when in the Robson Valley.

    Yes, unfortunately. BC Parks said last year they decided "to keep the trail closed throughout the 2022 season and prepare for a phased-opening approach" that is "expected to take several years" ...which I think is a bit crazy.
