Nestled between Yoho and Glacier National Parks, at the junction of the Kicking Horse and Columbia Rivers and the foot of the Columbia Mountains, Golden, British Columbia is the perfect base from which to explore the rugged landscape of Kicking Horse Country. The dramatic wilderness surrounding Golden offers all kinds of adventure, from hiking, kayaking and river rafting to ice climbing, sledding and heli-skiing. In fact, some of the area's B&Bs and lodges are accessible only by helicopter.
