A Canadian Off-Road Adventures tour lets its guests drive ATVs over mountain trails, splash through puddles, and stop for photo ops along the way.
If you don’t get good and dirty when you’re riding an all-terrain vehicle in the Dogtooth mountain range, you’re doing something wrong.
Sure, you can slow down and try to steer around the puddles that pit the dirt roads and forest trails while you’re following your guide from Canadian Off-Road Adventures. But it’s way more fun to dig your thumb into the throttle and blast right through them, throwing up plumes of muddy water from all four fat tires. Just don’t wear white.
Chewing up the trails on an ATV is just one of many summer activities in the town of Golden, better known as a winter sports destination. Kicking Horse Mountain Resort holds bragging rights as the highest ski resort in B.C. at 2,450 metres above sea level.
