Kinney Lake is a beautiful glacial lake encountered a couple of miles up the Berg Lake Trail. (Berg Lake is the highlight of Mount Robson Provincial Park, and I'd have loved to hike all the way to it, but it is over 10 miles each way and we weren't equipped for back-country camping.) It is named for climber George Kinney, who tried unsuccessfully to climb Mount Robson in 1907 and 1908, then succeeded in 1909 -- or so he thought. It turned out that he had missed the summit by only 50 feet, and thus was denied credit for being the first to scale the tallest peak in the Rockies; I guess his GPS must have been malfunctioning that day. :)
