Golden (British Columbia) Halal Travel Guide

The town was established in 1883 as a railway base camp named Cache. The name was later changed in an effort to compete with the nearby camp of Silver City. Since 2000, and the development of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Golden has become increasingly tourist-oriented.

Golden has a population presence of 5000, but a drawing area of roughly 15 000. The face of the town is changing with the development at the ski resort, drawing a multitude of transient visitors and wealthy Albertans purchasing second homes.

How to get around in Golden (British Columbia)

Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge - Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge

Golden is so small that you don't need a vehicle (especially if you are staying in the proximity of the centre). The town is divided by a river and each side has a supermarket (IGA on the north, Overwaitea on the south) which makes it easy to get the necessities by foot.

Mount 7 Taxi (+1 250-344-5237) is open 24 hours - a trip across town will probably cost you $10-15, up to Kicking Horse is likely $30-40.

During the winter months, Kicking Horse Resort runs a Snow Shuttle ($6/trip as of February 2007 - daily, weekly, monthly passes are available) which runs every 2 hours or so. The Snow Shuttle does a route going around town, up along the strip on the highway (Trans-Canada 1) and up to the mountain.

Of course the easiest thing is to have a car, especially if you want to explore. There is a National Car & Truck Rental, 915 11th Ave S, +1 250-344-9899, in town, however and their fleet is very limited. There may also be some in nearby towns (Kamloops, Revelstoke, Canmore, Invermere). Otherwise Calgary would be a good bet.
