Golden is in the province of British Columbia and is another great home base for any Rocky Mountain adventure. Originally a town known for logging and railway, Golden is now better known for its incredible number of outdoor activities to choose from. It’s not hard to believe when you learn that National and Provincial Parks surround it. In fact, there are six Canadian National Parks nearby, including Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, Jasper and Banff.
