Upper Toboggan Falls

Upper Toboggan Falls is located at the north end of Berg Lake 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 for 20.3 kilometers to the footbridge over Toboggan Creek, just past the Berg Lake Campground, then find the Toboggan Falls Trail branching to the left immediately after the bridge. Follow the Toboggan Falls Trail up the hillside for another 3/4 kilometer (or about 150m past the top of Toboggan Falls) to the viewpoint for the falls right along the trail.Upper Toboggan Falls is a significantly smaller counterpart to the long sliding cascade of Toboggan Falls, found just north of Berg Lake in Mount Robson Provincial Park. The falls drop 62 feet in a rather unique shape, first sliding down smooth limestone slabs, and then veiling outwards into two distinct streams - one stream running underneath a slab of undercut rock and the other shooting up in a small roostertail before plunging down the remainder of the cliff face. Toboggan Creek heads in a small glacier on the eastern side of Mount Anne-Alice. The volume of water present in the creek is not terribly large, but the presence of the glacier ensures a consistent flow through the summer months. During the spring freshet when the basin higher up is melting out from the winter snow pack, expect the volume of Toboggan Creek to swell considerably, however whether the falls can even be accessed early enough in the season to see such flows is not known.
