Review & FAQ:

Golden is a small mountain town snuggled into the Rocky Mountain Trench, between the Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountain, at the confluence of the Kicking Horse and the Columbia rivers. It is at an easy driving distance from six of Canada’s most magnificent national parks: Banff, Jasper, Glacier, Kootenay, Yoho, and Mount Revelstoke. Golden is a perfect base for exploring this spectacular part of the world. It is the world of the brave and the adventurous and the local accommodation reflects this – there are lodges and B&Bs that can be accessed only by helicopters. Just outside of the town you can find opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, skiing, ice climbing, and much more.
