heading onto hwy 1 to our destination Lake Louise, Alberta... Banff area
Driving hard... many beautiful sights of Canadian Rockies wilderness.
We come to Golden, BC. ... a wonderful place.
Stop at local grocery store for a few things. Ask a lady if there is a local park w/ picnic tables. She points us to the Golden park 3-4 blocks away.
A unique plaza with stone work of flower beds, terraced beds, stairs up to a fantastic covered bridge over the Kicking Horse River. This is the longest freestanding pedestrian covered bridge in Canada, 150' ... and is a magnificent built wooden structure! It is beautiful!
Ate a picnic samich here. ... and a walking/ biking trail along the Kicking Horse River. A good place to gather your thoughts in peace. The rushing water sounds good!
This Kicking Horse pedestrian bridge is the longest freestanding timber bridge in Canada. It is a beautiful structure of excellent craftsmanship.
Some of the locals transit this bridge.
A half mile down river is the confluence with the Columbia River.
Go into the downtown main square... several local bakery and chocolate shops. A unique structure in the main triangle.
A stop at the post office to get my travel journal stamped.
Last stop for fuel and head out on Trans-Canada Hwy 1 east to Lake Louise.
