Wallpaper Description:
Mount Robson Provincial Park is a vast provincial park in the Canadian Rockies with an area of 2,249 km².The park is located entirely within British Columbia, bordering Jasper National Park in Alberta.
The B.C. legislature created the park in 1913, the same year as the first ascent of Mount Robson by a party led by Conrad Kain.
The park is named for Mount Robson, which has the highest point in the Canadian Rockies and is located entirely within the park.
The first recreational trail was built in 1913 by Jasper outfitter Donald "Curly" Phillips along the Robson River to Berg Lake.
From May to September, the Mt. Robson Visitor Information Centre is open to the public, and is a common stop on the Yellowhead Highway.
The only services within the park are at a combination coffee-shop gas station complex at the same viewpoint.
The park spans the Yellowhead Highway and is located 390 kilometres west of Edmonton or 290 kilometres east of Prince George.
