Kicking Horse Mountain Resort

This mountain resort draws experienced skiers and snowboarders in winter and lures them back for summertime fun as well.

Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge

Stroll across Canada’s longest freestanding wooden frame bridge and take photos of the structure’s elegant design constructed from Douglas fir timber.

I must admit that there's not a great deal to do in Golden but a day quad biking up a snowy mountain is a must. I highly recommend the B&B we stayed at called Le Beausoliel. Home made muffins and let us use their bicycles as we didn't have a car. Beautiful home and lovely people.
