Driving
On the road to Golden.
Golden is smack dab in the middle of some of the most stunning land in the world. And thanks to its location right on Trans-Canada Highway 1, access to Golden from east or west is super easy. Then there is Hwy 95, which begins in Golden and heads south to the US border. Beyond the border, Interstate 95 continues through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and all the way down to the US-Mexico border. Visit www.drivebc.ca for up-to-date road conditions.

Enter your City and Province / State:This past fall, the portion of the Trans-Canada Highway between Golden and Yoho National Park was upgraded to a modern four-lane design and the addition of a new park bridge over Kicking Horse Canyon. These upgrades have made vast improvements for safe, quick travel to Golden from the east. For more details on the project, visit www.kickinghorsecanyon.ca.
