KICKING HORSE OPENS FOR SECOND SUMMER SEASON
June 21, 2002, Golden, British Columbia… Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Canada’s newest four-season mountain resort, opened for its second summer season today. From now until September 22, guests will enjoy hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing and dining on the mountain, all while enjoying spectacular alpine scenery. The resort will operate daily from 12:00pm – 10:00pm.The Golden Eagle Express will operate throughout the summer season whisking passengers up the 11,266-foot journey to the mountaintop in just 12 minutes. Once on top, guests can linger, enjoy a delicious meal in Eagle’s Eye, Canada’s most elevated dining experience, or head downhill on foot or on bike.
The hiking trails from the top of the mountain appease all hiking levels, from short, passive walks to longer, more adventuresome hikes. The most popular is to CPR Ridge, just a few hundred metres from The Golden Eagle Express. This panoramic lookout point is a terrific place to snap photos and enjoy the scenery. For mountain biking enthusiasts, the trip up Kicking Horse Mountain aboard the Golden Eagle Express might be easy, but the trip down is nothing short of exhilarating. A variety of trails for intermediate to advanced bikers depart from the top of the mountain.
For the less adventurous, relaxing over a meal and crisp glass of wine at Eagle’s Eye is the perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening. On top of the gourmet menu, visitors will also enjoy views of the Canadian Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell Mountain ranges through panoramic picture windows at Canada’s most elevated dining venue.
Other activities offered by partners in the Golden Valley include paragliding and hang gliding, golf, horseback riding, heli-hiking and some of the best whitewater rafting in the world.
