- Mount Robson (the peak itself) — The highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, it rises sheer and often dramatic out of the valley; when the face clears of clouds you get those jaw-dropping, postcard-perfect views that make the long drive worth it.
- Berg Lake — A turquoise, iceberg-strewn lake tucked beneath Berg Glacier; ice calving and mirror-like reflections of the peak make this a photographer’s dream and a wilderness highlight you don’t forget.
- Berg Lake Trail — The classic multi-day trek through alpine meadows, glacier-fed rivers and moraine scenery; it’s the park’s main draw for backpackers and delivers a steady succession of big views, campsites and waterfalls. (Personal favorite: Berg Lake Trail — nothing else quite compares for raw, close-up glacier scenery.)

(Personal favorite: Berg Lake Trail — nothing else quite compares for raw, close-up glacier scenery.)
- Emperor Falls — A powerful, dramatic waterfall you encounter along the Berg Lake Trail; the viewpoint is close enough to feel the spray and see the river carving through the valley, which is oddly addictive after miles of trail.
- Kinney Lake — A short, gentle hike from the trailhead that ends at a bright, reflective lake framed by forests and rock; great as a warm-up, picnic spot, or for people who want stunning views without committing to a multi-day trip.
- Overlander Falls — An easy boardwalk loop from the parking area to a thundering stretch of the Robson River; perfect for a quick stop, some dramatic water action and a safe short stroll with a big payoff.
- Wildlife watching — Grizzly and black bears, moose, mountain goats and a variety of alpine birds inhabit the park; encounters are best at dawn/dusk or from roadside pullouts and trails — bring bear spray, make noise on the trail, and keep distance.
