Approach on the Berg Lake Trail past Kinney Lake and Whitehorn campground, then cross the river and continue into the Valley of a Thousand Falls. The first waterfall viewpoints are reached as the route begins its steep ascent. A short side path reaches a rocky overlook; further views appear as the main trail climbs. A waterfall-viewpoint turnaround still leaves the full return walk through Whitehorn and Kinney Lake. Expect wet rock and exposed river edges around waterfall viewpoints. The distance on this record is measured from the road-end trailhead unless its scope explicitly says otherwise; it is not just the short viewpoint spur.

From Highway 16, turn into the signed Mount Robson park entrance near the Welcome Centre and follow Kinney Lake Road about 2.3 km to the road-end Berg Lake Trail parking. This is the vehicle access for the whole Berg Lake corridor. The waterfall and upper-basin destinations have no separate road approach.

The rebuilt corridor reopened in stages after the 2021 damage, with the full route reopening in 2025. Current signs and BC Parks advisories take precedence over older map distances. Winter travel is possible but adds avalanche, snow and ice hazards; it is not the same undertaking as a summer walk.
From May 4, 2026, BC Parks prohibits watercraft and wading equipment throughout Mount Robson Park waters to limit aquatic disease spread. This includes powered and unpowered craft, inflatables, wading clothing and boots. The hiking trails are not closed by this notice.

Overnight stays belong in designated Berg Lake Trail campgrounds, on tent pads or other established sites. Reserve the selected campground during the peak booking season; a day-hike visit does not provide a camping reservation. The corridor has a permanent campfire ban, and water must be treated. Dogs are not allowed on overnight trips. Whitehorn and Emperor Falls are the camp stages around this part of the corridor. Select and reserve an actual campsite rather than pitching a tent beside a viewpoint.
