About this distance
Berg Lake Trail is an out-and-back: you return the same way, so the 42 km shown is the full round trip — 21 km each way to Berg Lake, per BC Parks' own trail map. The drawn line continues about 2 km past the lake to Robson Pass, 23 km one way. You may see roughly 40 km published elsewhere; that is the same trail measured slightly differently, not a shorter route.
