Golden Mountains
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Mountains in Golden, British Columbia.
The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site consists of four contiguous national parks—Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho—and three provicial parks—Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber. This striking mountain landscape was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. It includes the Burgess Shale fossil site, well known for its fossil remains of soft-bodied marine animals.
Kicking Horse Pass
This high mountain pass between Lake Louise, AB and Field, BC was originally constructed for CPR's transcontinental rail way. The pass was first explored in 1858 by the Palliser Expedition led by Captain John Palliser.
Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park
Visitors to this provincial park are most often lured by Mount Assiniboine itself. The 3,618 m (11,867 ft) high mountain is world-renowned and is considered one of the most picturesque spots in the Rocky Mountains. Main park activities include hiking, mountain climbing, camping and fishing. Ski touring is popular during the winter. There are two separate camping areas, with one overlooking Lake Magog. Horses are allowed in the park with a permit.
