Because of this proximity, sports and adventure agencies, which are not allowed to operate in the parks, have invested in Golden. Thus, you will be able to practice in the region a multitude of adventure sports such as heli-skiing, rafting... The Ktunaxa, an indigenous people, used to live in the area, mainly from hunting and fishing.
