Summer in Golden
Let nature take its course
Surrounded by mountain ranges, historic rivers, and located at the heart of national and provincial parks, summer in Golden offers a summer vacation filled with stunning mountain scenery, outdoor adventures and a warm mountain town welcome.
Experienced fishing, or horseback riding and ATV guiding outfits will help you make the most of your stay in Golden. Golfers can enjoy the spectacular scenery at the award-winning Golden Golf Club 18-hole championship course.
Choose from six national parks surrounding Golden: Yoho, Glacier, Banff, Lake Louise, Kootenay, and Mt. Revelstoke for historic sites and hiking trails. Take a walk with the wolves at the Northern Lights Wolf Centre, visit Boo at the Grizzly Bear Refuge, or a guided tour of the Columbia River and Wetlands, home to hundreds of species of wildlife, birds, and fish. Thrill-seekers can check off multiple bucket list experiences such as whitewater rafting on the famous Kicking Horse River, sky-diving or tandem paragliding, or mountain biking over 129km of trails.
