Check Conditions Before Travelling
Weather patterns in the mountains change conditions frequently and may affect travel, closures, and smoke in the summertime. Always plan ahead and check conditions before setting out on your trip. Here are some resources you can use:
Driving Conditions
Always check road conditions and know your route before you go. DriveBC is the best resource for highway conditions in British Columbia with live webcams and consistent updates.
BC Wildfire Service
Stay up to date on current wildfires with the BC Wildfire App.
Check fire bans and restrictions.
Air Quality
Smoke density in the area can change from day to day, for a first-hand view of the conditions in Golden we recommend visiting the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort's live webcams.
