Columbia Wetlands Outpost

Nestled in the Columbia River Valley between the spectacular Rocky and Purcell Mountain ranges lies the Columbia Wetlands Outpost. Many of us call the Columbia Wetlands a living natural treasure because of it’s role as an essential eco-system, home to hundreds of animal species. What we also know is that the mighty Columbia River slows as it winds through the wetlands, setting the pace for us and all who seek respite here. Guests at the Columbia Wetlands Outpost have an opportunity to experience a magical adventure, a chance to pause and soak in something that is eye-wateringly beautiful, exciting yet profound. Whether you prefer to explore endless tributaries, at your own pace, in a canoe/kayak/SUP or simply float gently down the Columbia on a guided catacraft tour is your choice. Stay with us for several days to experience even more of our beautiful surroundings at the luxurious Columbia Wetlands Outpost Lodge, or unique Columbia Wetlands Outpost Tepee and Timber tents.

Reviewed By SarahElizabeth09 - Canmore, Canada

Four of us travelled up to Golden from Canmore for a snowmobiling half day tour on March 1st for my boyfriends birthday and it was the coolest thing we’ve ever done! Doris was amazing on the phone and answered all of my many many questions about the activity. AJ led the tour and was really enthusiastic and friendly, we felt very at ease with him leading us and he instantly made us feel less nervous (was our first time snowmobiling for me and my partner). The tour itself was really thrilling and they order you in the group based on how fast you want to go which was great for us because we were able to get lots of speed when we wanted to. They check on you frequently on the tour to make sure you are comfortable and feeling good about it all and the trails are very well kept and signposted. The scenery is stunningly beautiful and overall the tour was definitely worth every penny. Our two friends who came on the tour with us had done snowmobiling at other companies in BC before and said that this tour was way better in every way! If you are looking to have the best day out you should choose this company, I highly recommend it!! Thank you guys so much, we will never forget it! -Sarah

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort

Kicking Horse has attracted rave reviews for its awesome vertical, deep powder and spectacular terrain mix. With an express gondola accessing over 4314 ft (1315m) of vertical, you’re bound to ski and ride an impressive feat of terrain comparable to only that of heli-skiing. Coupled with summer activities such as mountain biking, wildlife education, and alpine sightseeing, this is a place where the stories are almost too tall to believe.
