Yeah...last day!!! So here we are the last day of the trip. It took forever to get there. The hike is pretty short, and we have hiked it before, so we pretty much just gum booted it to the end. We really wanted some ice cream. There is this little resturant at the bottom of Robson, right by the the info center, and they sell really good ice cream, especially after being the woods for two weeks!!! It is about 10.9 km's from Whitehorn campground to the end of the Berg Lake trail. It is about 177.6 km's from the start of the North Boundary Trail, although if you tack on Mumm Basin and Toboggan Falls, plus all the walking in the campsites, I figure about 200 km's. So the start of the trail back starts off by going over a suspenson bridge. Then walking up a large hill. The trail is really wide, well marked and not that difficult. After you reach the top, you go down, down a long way. There are a lot of switchbacks and if it's hot outside, it's a very dry heat. Once you get to the bottom, you walk across a flat semirocky area to a bridge, where you cross to go up yet some more hills and steep dropoffs. If it is wet, you have to watch your step. I don't find it that steep, but depending if you are afraid of heights you would probably not like it! Then you reach Kinney Lake, camp one. It's about 7 km's from the begining of the Berg Lake Trail. Most people walk there for a day hike. So the trail to the camp is seriously wide and well managed. The hills are not steep, but there are a few spots that are just plain hot, every time I walk by these spots it's down right hot. I don't know why it is like this, but it is. When we reached the sign that they have at the begining, we were so relieved. We took a picture and felt like we were the Queens of the world. When we got in the van, we forgot how much we love actual seats!!!!!!
