  • On the way to Snowbird Pass, see Robson Glacier, in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. Mount Robson (3954 meters or 12,972 feet) is the highest point in the Canadian Rockies, and is part of the Rainbow Range. Global warming alert: during the past century, Robson Glacier has receded an average of 18 meters per year (1788 meters total from 1911-2010, www.glacierchange.org), and has accelerating melting to 22 meters per year since 1996. An inventory of western Canada glaciers (by Bolch et al 2010) found that from 1985-2005, British Columbia glaciers lost 11% of their area and Alberta glaciers lost 25% of their area. Mount Robson is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site honored by UNESCO in 1984. Panorama stitched from 12 images.
