There's not much that needs to be said about the 200m high Helmcken Falls other than this: it is currently the hardest mixed-route ice and rock climb in the known world.
The fourth-highest waterfall in Canada is backdropped by a massive, upside-down amphitheatre of overhanging rock. Spray from the waterfalls hit the wall, covering it in a thick (and sometimes thin) layer of ice. But despite freezing ice spray from the waterfall, British climber Tim Emmett, and Klemen Premrl, from Slovenia, conquered the notorious ice climb through a new route, Interstellar Spice.
The Berg Lake Trail is a world-renowned backcountry hiking trail. Gaining just under 800 metres in 23 kilometres, the trail traverses three biogeoclimatic zones.
This trail takes hikers to some of the best scenery in the province. Beyond Kinney Lake, the trail enters the Valley of a Thousand Falls. Fed by the massive Mist, Berg and Robson glaciers, visitors often see huge sections of ice break off or “calve” into the blue/green, silt-laden waters of Berg Lake.
