Service
Private, door-to-door
Straight along the Trans-Canada Highway into British Columbia, Golden sits where the Rockies meet the Columbia Mountains — the gateway to Yoho National Park and the Kicking Horse area.
Why people book this route
A longer route usually booked as a planned trip rather than a same-day one — Yoho National Park, the Kicking Horse area, or continuing further into BC.
How it's usually booked
A one-way or return transfer is the point-to-point structure. Multi-stop itineraries are arranged as a custom trip rather than assumed.
Golden to Calgary, including drops at YYC, books the same way as the trip out.
Along the way
This route runs the full length of Banff National Park on the Trans-Canada Highway, over Kicking Horse Pass and past Yoho National Park, before descending into the Columbia Valley at Golden.
Good to know
A Parks Canada entry fee applies for the stretch through Banff and Yoho national parks. Kicking Horse Pass is a significant mountain crossing, so winter travel here is more weather-dependent than the closer routes.
Runs year-round, conditions permitting. Winter trips use winter-rated tires, and this is one of the more weather-dependent routes given the mountain pass.
