Where is Golden?

Golden is located in the north end of the Columbia Valley, nestled between two mountain ranges. The Canadian Rockies in the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west, and is centrally located to four of Canada's most famous National Parks. The town site is surrounded by magnificent mountain peaks, the Columbia Valley Wetlands, and two great rivers: the Columbia and the Kicking Horse.
