Mount Robson, at 3,954m, is the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies.  It is a legendary peak of near Himalayan proportions, with over 3,000m of vertical relief from valley to summit.  The South Face was first climbed in 1924 by the great Austrian guide Conrad Kain, along with M Geddes, T Moffat, and M Pollard.  It offers the fastest, most direct route to the summit.  

Silver Falls State Park Perimeter Loop

Description

The Silver Falls Perimeter Loop is a route that explores the many hiking trails around Silver Falls. The vast majority of hikers who go to the park converge on the Trail of Ten Falls, which, while admittedly beautiful does not provide anything like the same experience as its backcountry trail system. While the backcountry trails don't have anything as striking as the Falls, they do provide solitude, old growth, and a sense of backcountry that isn't found regularly inside the valley.
