The North Boundary Trail is one of the most sought-after trails in any serious backpacker’s resume. Stretching near 200 km from Celestine Lake near the Jasper Townsite to the soaring heights of Mount Robson, the trail travels through some of the most rugged and spectacular scenery in the Rockies. In recent year the North Boundary Trail has seen limited maintenance which has added to its wild character. This trail can only be hiked later on in the summer season when water levels are lower as there are many unbridged creek crossings. Through proper pacing and with the help of porters to ferry food, we are able to hike the trail with manageable (but still quite heavy) backpacks. This is an advanced trail for guests with previous backpacking experience; expect muddy sections, sometimes soggy boots, and some bushy overgrown areas. The benefit of braving these challenges is being able to experience the splendor of the Northern part of Jasper National Park and make memories to last a lifetime. This route follows the course of the Snake Indian River to its head at Snake Indian Pass before travelling up the Smoky River towards Mount Robson.

Daily Itinerary
-
![]()
Pre-Trip: The evening before the trip your guide will arrange a meeting in the Jasper Townsite with all guests to discuss safety, distribute group gear and food, and ensure all guests are using appropriate equipment.
-
![]()
Day 1: Our journey begins with an adventurous drive along the Celestine Lake Road to reach the trailhead on the shore of the Snake Indian River. We start the trip with a good warm-up, travelling with only 3 days of food on good mellow trail. The route meanders near the river on an old roadbed to reach our first campsite on the edge of the river at the aptly named Shalebanks Campground. [Distance: 18 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 500 m/250 m.]
-
![]()
Day 2: Leaving Shalebanks we carry on upstream towards one of the most spectacular sights in the Rockies, Snake Indian Falls. Unlike many other major waterfalls in the Park, Snake Indian Falls is accessible only by trail, and it is a majestic sight to see. After passing the falls our trail continues reaching a lovely campsite near the bubbling waters of Willow Creek. A porter will meet us at the Willow Creek Campground with supplies for the rest of the journey. [Distance: 21 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 300 m/200 m.]
-
![]()
Day 3: Leaving Willow Creek, we travel on good (and mostly flat) trail paralleling the Snake Indian River towards Welbourne Campground. This day has several great viewpoints of distant peaks, and crosses several creeks. The highlight of the day is Welbourne Campground itself, nestled right on the shore of the river, and a lovely place to enjoy an evening campfire while gazing at a sea of stars above. [Distance: 16 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 250 m/150 m.]
-
![]()
Day 4: After a hearty breakfast we hit the trail travelling westwards, passing by a few scenic bubbling brooks, and great viewpoints overlooking the Snake Indian River. Our trail passes through serene forest upset by the occasional rustling of animal hooves. After a quick break on the porch of the Blue Creek District Warden Cabin (where historically a warden and their family would live year-round), we reach our campground for the evening tucked away in the forest near the swift waters of Blue Creek. [Distance: 12 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 120 m/50 m.]
-
![]()
Day 5: Our day starts by fording the brisk water of Blue Creek. The day alternates between stretches of serene forest, and open overlooks above the Snake Indian River; there are even distant views of the mighty Mount Robson itself. We end our day at the Three Slides Campground, perched on the edge of a grassy field with a great view of glaciated north face of Upright Mountain. [Distance: 15 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 150 m/100 m.]
-
![]()
Day 6: Today we travel through thinning forest as we gradually work our way up towards Snake Indian Pass. Moving in and out of the forest, there are lovely break spots overlooking the Snake Indian River with mountain views to enjoy. Our campsite for the evening is the interestingly named Oatmeal Campground, a great place for stargazing. [Distance: 14 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 100 m/25 m.]
-
![]()
Day 7: Leaving Oatmeal Campground we quickly start climbing up towards Snake Indian Pass. The trail can be indistinct at times, as we near the Pass but excellent views of the remote landscape make up for it. Once across the Pass, we start descending following the course of Twintree Creek onto our next campground on the sublime shore of Twintree Lake. This is a long day with an earlier than normal start time. [Distance: 23 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 300 m/280 m.]
-
![]()
Day 8: Leaving Twintree Lake our trail descends to the site of the old Twintree Creek Bridge; the bridge was destroyed in June 2021 (the same weather event that damaged the Berg Lake Trail) requiring a ford. Our route then heads over a forested shoulder passing by the only known naturally growing cedar tree in Jasper, before descending down to a sturdy bridge atop the roaring of the Smoky River. Our campsite at Chown Creek is a lovely spot on the edge of braided river flats with amazing mountain views. [Distance: 17 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 140 m/400 m.]
-
![]()
Day 9: We start the day with either a leisurely breakfast or a short side-trip up the Chown Creek valley (to reach an impressive viewpoint of Mount Bess). After returning and packing up our tents we cross Chown Creek and carry on along a flat section of forest with several creek crossings to reach the Wolverine North Campground. [Distance: 12 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 100 m/80 m.]
-
![]()
Day 10: Today we draw near to the end of the North Boundary Trail traveling through peaceful forest, and open gravel flats with good views overlooking the Smoky River. Several unbridged creek crossings, including a recent detour near Mural Creek lead us to Adolphus Campground (a mere 2 km from Robson Pass). [Distance: 14 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 150 m/30 m.]
-
![]()
Day 11: After breakfast we’ll take a stroll to the BC border at Robson Pass which formally concludes Jasper’s North Boundary Trail. From here we hike along the newly re-opened Berg Lake Trail past Berg Lake and Emperor Falls to return to civilization at the Berg Lake Trailhead. Contact Us If You Would Be Interested In More Days Around Berg Lake Before Finishing The Trip. [Distance: 25.5 km. Elevation Gain/Loss: 130 m/850 m.]

How Should I Prepare?
How much training you need depends on many factors.
