Mount Robson Provincial ParkMount Robson Provincial Park is the largest 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 first recreational trail was built in 1913 by Jasper outfitter Donald "Curly" Phillips along the Robson River to Berg Lake. From May to September, a visitor centre is open just south of the Mt. Robson Viewpoint on the Yellowhead Highway. The only services within the park are at a combination coffee-shop gas station complex at the Viewpoint. To reach the park, follow the Yellowhead Highway 390 kilometres west of Edmonton or 290 kilometres east of Prince George. Reference External link
