Cinnamon Peak Falls

Cinnamon Peak Falls is located just west of the inlet of Kinney Lake along the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. From the junction of Highways 5 and 16 in Tete Jaune Cache, follow the Yellowhead Highway (16) east for 16.3 kilometers to Mount Robson Meadows and turn left onto Kinney Lake Road, then follow it to the trailhead at its end in another 2 kilometers. Expect to encounter a crowded parking area, the Berg Lake Trail is the most popular hike in the Canadian Rockies. Hike the Berg Lake Trail to the 7.2 kilometer point where the trail splits. Head left out onto the Kinney Flats for best views of the falls - note that the trail which crosses Kinney Flats is at the mercy of the path the Robson River is currently taking, and the footbridges which are placed along it are seasonal and may not be in place at any given time (consult with Park staff at the Visitors Center for more details).Cinnamon Peak Falls is a tall series of cascades which occurs along the stream which appears to be the primary outflow from the various glaciers on the east flank of Cinnamon Peak in Mount Robson Provincial Park. The stream originates underground about 300 vertical feet below a large talus covered basin on the southeast side of Cinnamon Peak and rumbles down a rocky channel at a moderate rate for about half of a kilometer before it reaches the edge of the Robson River valley, at which point the creek begins to tumble about 1,200 vertical feet down the side of the valley in a series of slides and cascades. The final drop of the falls is a smooth sliding horsetail type fall of perhaps 150 feet or so, but most of the rest of the falls is broken up into non-distinct chunks of cascades. Thick foliage lining the creek makes it difficult to take in the entire series of falls, but the whole formation is easily visible from the Berg Lake Trail for a considerable distance between the Kinney Lake Campground and the bottom of the Whitehorn hill.
