Hiking & Heli-Hiking

Golden is located in the Rocky Mountain Trench – a unique geological feature surrounded by the Rocky, Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. Hiking and heli-hiking in this neck of the woods is varied, incredible and downright amazing. In and around Golden, hikes include Confluence Park, Mount 7, ridge walks at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, popular local favourite Gorman Lake and numerous trails in the surrounding mountains.

In Golden, you’re 45 minutes from Yoho and Glacier National Parks and within an hour drive of Banff, Kootenay, Jasper and Mt. Revelstoke National Parks – six of Canada’s most impressive National Parks. If you’ve got hiking boots on, you’re in the right place. For more information got to www.goldenhikes.ca.
