Considering its popularity, the reservations are pretty hard to secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I trekked the Berg Lake trail in the second half of September and loved my experience. The autumn colours were in full swing, and the light was perfect for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hike in September, though, pack accordingly, with a sleeping bag with at least a -10 degrees comfort zone. July and August are the busiest, with plenty of day hikers and trail runners along the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cf2d2d26\"><strong>Important: <\/strong>Due to trail damage caused by flooding, Berg Lake Trail has been closed since 2021. In 2023, the first section of Kinney Lake reopened; in 2024, the second section of Whiterhorn campsite was opened. The upper part of the Berg Lake Trail is scheduled to open in 2025.
