Golden & Glaciers @ Camp Moose Trail in Golden BC
Glamp. Raft. Hike. Explore.
Glamp.
This unique Glamping Experience is nestled in the perfect place to explore the Columbia Mountains. Situated along the Columbia River, and winding through Roger’s Pass, you will see the tallest peaks, the biggest glaciers, the most wonderful terrain, the craziest waterfalls and the biggest country in Canada. West of the Rockies, lie the Columbia mountains, famous for their massive annual snowfall, the Sawtooth Range and Glacier National Park.
Base Camp
We have found our base camp outside of Golden at Camp Moose Trail. This unique camping spot has room for 14 guests, all within their canvas Glamping Tents. A common eating area, the cedar hot tub and the outdoor shower make this a perfect pairing of outdoor charm, roughing it, and having a few luxury items at camp.

Trip Category
We have labeled this trip into the Semi-Dirt Bag category as it requires the guest to adapt to outdoor life and push yourself on some challenging terrain. It’s a great way to experience some of Canada’s camping culture with a few perks.
Hike.
Let’s Get Grindy! We are in the BIG mountains here! While nestled into our camp, we have the ability to explore a mammoth area. We want to get you to the top of some stunning scenery, see a butt load of waterfalls, touch glaciers and put in some serious sweat equity. All the hikes in this area involve elevation and big mountains. HOWEVER, there are still intermediate options and we will have an advanced hiking options and an intermediate hiking option for our guests.
There are many amazing hikes to choose from. We particularly like Perley Rock and Marion Lake, however hikes are chosen based on safety, weather and group dynamics. The objective is to get to some spectacular views within the area, while keeping everyone safe and happy.
Raft.
Are you ready for the raft of your life!? Golden is located beside the Columbia River which offers some amazing white water rafting. The famous Kicking Horse Run is known for it’s continuous Class 3 & 4 whitewater sections. Sunday we will have an option to take the afternoon ride with Kootenay River Runners.
Explore.
The area is about 25km from Kinbasket Lake where a historical inlet pours into the bottom of the lake. The inlet, although running outwards, is an easy paddle up to the ford where the current is strong. Remnants of the old railroad, the formation of the dam and spectacular scenery line this narrow passage. An evening paddle will be offered during the trip.
