- Title: Soaring Over Mount Robson
- Description: Mt. Robson, in central British Columbia, was first surveyed by James McEvoy and determined to be the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at nearly 13000 feet in elevation. The first documented ascent of Mount Robson, led by the young guide Conrad Kain, at its time the hardest ice face to be climbed on the continent, was achieved during the 1913 annual expedition organized by a large party of Alpine Club of Canada members who made use of the newly completed Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to access the area. Prior to 1913, it had been necessary to approach the mountain by pack train from Edmonton or via Jasper and Lucerne, so only a few intrepid explorers had made previous attempts at exploring the mountain. Mt. Robson has a world-class hike, on the Berg Lake trail, which had the potential for our trip itinerary. However, as of our arrival date on June 8, 2023, the trail was still closed due to flooding that occurred in the spring of 2021.
