Good chances to spot wildlife such as black bears, grizzlies, bold eagles and moose. Departure: Every 30 minutes. Phone: 1-877-4.WILD.BC (494.5322) Web: www.riversafari.com Mount Robson Provincial Park Mount Robson (12,972 feet/3,954 m.) is the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. A glacier covers the north facing side of its peak. 1911: first attempt to reach the top by George Kinney and Philip Curly. 1913: On a clear, cold day Conrad Kain - an Austian mountain guide, W.W. Foster and A.H. McCarthy were the first standing on top of this giant. Mount Robson is the first mountain in the Rockies to collide with the western winds. Therefore, Mount Robson receives 50% more rain than Jasper (located 53 miles east). Facilities at Mount Robson • Visitor Centre • Cafeteria • Gas station Mount Robson Provincial Park Suggested hike: Kinney Lake The trail winds through old-growth cedar/hemlock forest as it follows the Robson River to the hidden gem: Kinney Lake. This gentle hike offers incredible scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. Distance: 4.5 km/2.8 mi one way Elevation difference: 100 m./330 feet Trail head: Just north of the gas station and visitor centre at Mount Robson, a 2.4 km/1.5 mile bumpy and narrow road leading to the Berg Lake Trail parking lot. The trail starts at the bridge. All rights reserved © Josette Prinsen dba Tourguide Canada Page 9 Road Book to Travel across Canada Located directly after the second bridge that crosses the Robson River (4.3 km/2.7 mi) are picnic tables (left turn) and an outhouse (right turn). Return the same way. Suggested late summer walk: Rearguard Falls and Chinook salmon Distance: 0.6 km/0.4 mi one-way. Return the same route. Elevation difference: 30 metre/100 feet Trail head: 4 km / 2.5 mi east of junction Hwy 5 to Hwy 16. Watch for a signpost and car park. Reach the Rearguard Falls by the clearly marked short (15 min) descending trail. The Rearguard Falls viewpoint provides an excellent opportunity to witness the end of a long journey by the Chinook, largest of the Pacific salmon. These fish have survived several years at sea to return to the river of their birth, the mighty Fraser River. From its estuary in British Columbia’s lower mainland to this point, the Chinook have traveled upstream over 1200 km. Some may be successful battling over these falls to reach the gravel above, but for most, Rearguard Falls marks the end of their journey. Your best chances to see the salmon are late summer. Good to know When entering Jasper National Park, you must purchase a Parks Canada pass. This park pas is a permit that allows visitors to visit any national park in Canada during the time period in which it is valid. Anyone visiting, stopping for picnics and viewpoints, or visiting lakes and villages must purchase the pass. The correlating fee contributes to maintenance of scenic parkways, day use areas, updating information and public safety, trails and interpretation sites. The park pass is available in-person at Parks Canada's park gates and information centres. Or you can order your discovery pass here (arrival per slow mail) https://www.parksorders.ca/ Move your watch + 1 hour when entering Alberta The province of Alberta charges 5 % GST (instead of 5% GST + 7% PST = 12% taxes in BC) All rights reserved © Josette Prinsen dba Tourguide Canada Page 10 Road Book to Travel across Canada Day 14 The Great Lakes: Lake Superior’s north shore Nipigon to Sault Ste Marie 587 km, 6hr 45min Map 14.1 route overview Link to this map https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1H3EEbhjyw1yNjjbfTjXzlOzyDBM&ll=47.783561025 47224%2C-86.281248&z=7 Directions Continue to follow Trans Canada Hwy 17 Don’t miss the sign for Agawa Rocks within Lake Superior Provincial Park: As you’re driving along the Trans-Canada Highway

  • I Applied to Register a Campsite in Emperor Ridge Campground at the Cache of the Motor Village, Because the Campground Was Managed by the Motor Village
    Mount Robson EL 3954 m Motor Village Emperor Ridge Caqmpground Visitor Information Center ? I applied to register a campsite in Emperor Ridge Campground at the Cache of the Motor Village, because the campground was managed by the Motor Village. They said I could pitch a tent at any unoccupied site. The fee was collected at each site by the clerk in charge in the evening. In USA, there are rarely private campgrounds in the public land. I thought facilities of the Motor Ｖillage must have been settled before the Robson Provincial Park was established. (1151) Mount Robson EL 3954m N (Visitor Information Center and its Vicinity th July 15 (Sunday) I got up at six and went to the Viewpoint Lookout to take photographs of Mount Robson in the early morning atmosphere, but in vain.. The upper the mountain was covered with clouds. Mount Robson is supposed to reveal its whole shape one or two days a week. I had continental breakfast at my campsite. I made up my mind to have an “ambling in the nature” along the trail to Kinney and Berg Lakes. It was a few minute drive from Whitehorn the Emperor Ridge Campground Mt.Robson to Berg Lake Trail head parking. From Trailhead Parking the trail My Ambling in the Nature ascended gradually along the right bank of the Robson River to Kimmey Lake, and from Trailhead Parking Kinney Lake the trail became much steeper. As I felt so weary that, I gave up ascending further than Whitehorn campground. (1152) While I was walking on the trail, thick clouds concealed the top of Mount Robson.

  • Prepared For: Line Leaseholders Working Group, Jasper National Park
    Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. Environmental Assessment TMX - Anchor Loop Project Section 6.1 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS ASSESSMENT The description of the environmental and socio-economic setting, and current state of the environment within the Local Study Area (LSA) and, where applicable, the Regional Study Area (RSA) (Section 5.0), are compared in this Section of the EA report against the Project Description (Section 2.0) to identify potential effects that might be caused by the Project. The environmental and socio-economic effects assessment uses the information provided in the environmental and socio-economic setting to: • evaluate the environmental and socio-economic elements of importance in the LSA and RSA; • formulate appropriate site-specific mitigative measures that are technically and economically feasible; • identify and evaluate Project residual effects associated with each environmental and socio-economic element of importance; and • identify the effects of the environment on the Project. In addition, the environmental and socio-economic effects assessment has determined the significance of potential adverse residual effects resulting from construction and operation activities after taking into consideration proposed mitigation and compensation measures. 6.1 Methodology The assessment evaluated the environmental and socio-economic effects of the construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment phases of each component of the Project (i.e., pipeline and facilities). The assessment method included the following components: • determination of spatial and temporal boundaries for this assessment; • identification of biophysical and socio-economic elements and associated Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs); • identification of potential environmental and socio-economic impacts; • development of technically and economically feasible mitigation and, where appropriate, compensation measures; • identification of anticipated residual effects; and • determination of the significance of adverse residual effects.
