B.C. Parks will start accepting bookings for hiking trips along the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park and canoe trips along the Bowron Lakes chain on Jan. 2.
Spots for the 2016 season can be reserved through the online Discover Camping service.
B.C. Parks saw a record 2,295 reservations for the Berg Lake trail in 2015, a 45-per-cent increase from 2014.
The Bowron Lake canoe circuit also saw a six-per-cent increase in bookings in 2015, from 975 in 2014 to 1,030 in 2015.
The Berg Lake trail is open year-round, and campsites can be reserved from June 12 to Sept. 14.
The trail covers 23 kilometres and climbs 800 metres, offering scenic views of waterfalls, turquoise coloured lakes and icebergs.
Campsites on Bowron Lake Provincial Parks' world-renowned canoe circuit can be reserved from May 15 to Sept. 21.
The entire circuit boasts 116 kilometres of paddling across 10 lakes, and includes several portages that are relatively flat. The entire trip takes from six to 10 days.
The West Side experience is also available, which is less than half of the circuit and takes two to four days to complete.
B.C. Parks recently produced a short video for the Bowron Lake circuit so visitors can better plan their trip.
