Golden BC brings the adventure. It offers so much to those visiting this town – rafting, paragliding, mountain biking, skydiving. It is common for those passing through for one day to feel overwhelmed by the choice of activities available to them.

We have realized that sometimes the mountains capture your heart during the day. And while we most certainly still offer full-day rafting trips, it is the reason Glacier Raft Company is now offering various afternoon trips to accommodate those who would like to see some river-action in the evening.

Floating down the Kicking Horse River offers quite the view. Surrounded by the mountains, a trip on the water offers a rather unique perspective of the Canadian Rockies.

Ask any members of our staff and they will rave about the stunning scenery that you will experience when rafting down the river.

But how about seeing those breathtaking silent peaks from above?

Paddling down the Kicking Horse River is clearly our specialty. And although we love the river and the thrill white water provides, we here at Glacier adore the many activities that come along with living in a mountain town.

Our amazing location in the heart of the Rockies has led Golden to become a leading destination for one adventure activity that leaves you breathless and excited to hit the trails!

Golden rules.

The town even has it written down as one of it’s mottos. Now we are a bit biased here, but it really is an awesome little place.

Truly.

Time and time again, Golden, British Columbia has captured our hearts in it’s ability to reveal to us how a communal love for the mountains inspires an abundance of lasting memories.

Here at Glacier Raft Company, we are all about adventure. With an abundance of activities right outside our doorstep in Golden, the opportunities for outdoor education are endless.

So here is a list of our favourite hikes in the area we suggest checking out
