Route Description for Bertha Peak Trail

From the parking area, follow the Bertha Lake Trail that will lead you to Bertha Peak. You will hike along the straightforward trail as it switchbacks uphill gaining 500 m to the Bertha Lake campground at roughly 5.0 km. From the campground, hike around the lakeshore for 1.0 km looking for a faint trail to your right. You will begin your scramble section from here.

You will see some cliff bands next to a grassy area. Begin making your way up to the peak by gaining the rock bands and gullies. This scramble is replete with scree, talus, and boulders. You will gain roughly 700 m from the lake to the peak. Once you reach a comfortable end, you’ll turn around and return the way you came.
