While we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we are celebrating the wonders of our national parks along with it. With Golden, B.C. being surrounded by six national parks, we have decided to feature a few of our favourite hikes to help you decide which ones are worthy of your attention.

From our hiking series, you are probably aware by now how fortunate we feel to live where we do. Golden’s backyard has some of the best scenery in the area, with its lush forests, elaborate peaks and rushing waterfalls. Yet, a little known gem exists one hour east from our little oasis, and it just so happens to be one of the most coveted drives in the world.

Canada is turning 150 this year, and to celebrate, the National Parks are free to all visitors. We hope lots of you are able to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity, and we want to help with the planning.

If you’re looking to experience the beauty of the Canadian Rockies and our National Parks, Golden B.C. is where you want to be.  Here’s our list of the 5 Best Hikes in Yoho National Park.

Golden, B.C. is surrounded by six National Parks which makes it a great place for many hiking adventures.

In honour of Canada’s 150th birthday, we decided to name some of our favourite trails. We hope they help with your planning as you come to take in our breathtaking landscapes.

Here are the 5 Best Hikes in Glacier National Park, B.C.

From all the excursions that you want to experience, the places you want to see and the people you may want to meet along the way, there are many variables that come together to ensure an unforgettable journey. And where you sleep at night can make or break your memories from a trip.

That is why the staff here at Glacier Raft Company have compiled a list of our favourite free (that’s right!) campsites near our lovely mountain town that we have all tested and tried ourselves, so you don’t have to!
