2-Day Group Adventure to Golden, BC from Calgary

Day 1: Discover Golden & Kicking Horse Country

Begin your day in Golden, BC, a charming mountain town surrounded by six national parks. Start with a stroll across the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge, the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada, offering beautiful river and mountain views.

Next, head to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Take the gondola to the summit for breathtaking panoramic views of the Columbia Valley. Don’t miss a visit to the Grizzly Bear Refuge to see Boo, the orphaned grizzly, and learn about wildlife conservation efforts.

Enjoy lunch at the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant or a local Golden café. In the afternoon, unwind with a walk along the Columbia River or choose an adventure like mountain biking or whitewater rafting, depending on the season.

Wrap up your day exploring downtown Golden, where you’ll find unique shops, local art, and cozy restaurants. Savor dinner with mountain views before settling into your lodge, cabin, or riverside accommodation for a peaceful night.

Day 2: Yoho National Park Wonders – Emerald Lake & Takakkaw Falls

Start your morning with a scenic drive into Yoho National Park. Your first stop is the breathtaking Emerald Lake, known for its vivid turquoise waters and serene alpine setting. Rent a canoe, enjoy a peaceful lakeside walk, or simply soak in the beauty with your camera in hand.

Next, visit Takakkaw Falls—one of Canada’s tallest waterfalls. Take the short, scenic trail to the base of the falls, where you’ll feel the cool mist and hear the thunderous roar as water plunges down 373 meters into the valley below.

Stop for lunch at the nearby Field or bring a picnic to enjoy in one of Yoho’s quiet picnic areas. In the afternoon, explore the Natural Bridge, a stunning rock formation carved by the Kicking Horse River, before making your return to Golden.

Conclude your 2-day trip with a relaxing dinner back in town or a final photo stop at one of the scenic viewpoints overlooking the Columbia River Valley. Golden offers the perfect balance of adventure, nature, and tranquility for a memorable getaway.
