This popular cycle and vehicle tour visits three magnificent national parks and features attractions in Golden and Radium Hot Springs.  There is even a special event named after this tour - it takes place each May holiday weekend where over a hundred cyclists gather to enjoy the Golden Triangle.

Banff National Park is Canada's first and includes the legendary Lake Louise.  Enjoy a hike along the picturesque lake, stroll through the village or ride the gondola for some spectacular sightseeing.

Yoho National Park is a stunning 1,310 sq km (507 sq mi) park offering attractions such as the Spiral Tunnels, Takakkaw Falls - one of Canada's highest, the Natural Bridge, Emerald Lake and the over 500 million year old Burgess Shale.  The quaint village of Field features an excellent Visitor Info Centre just off the TransCanada Highway.

At the confluence of  the Kicking Horse and Columbia Rivers, the mountainous town of Golden has become a centre for outdoor adventure.  Year-round activities can be accessed from whitewater rafting excitement to serene backcountry lodging.  Wildlife viewing opportunities abound along the 150 km (90 mi) long Columbia Wetland habitat paralleling Hwy #95 south from Golden.

Once you reach the junction of Hwy #93 and #95, you will enter Kootenay National Park and the Sinclair Canyon, where Radium Hot Springs is nestled.  You'll want to stop over here for a while to enjoy a therapeutic soak, visit the spa or have lunch.

Continuing your travels north on Hwy #93 through Kootenay National Park, there are several points of interest and short hikes from the highway.  A few include, Kootenay Valley, Vermilion Crossing, the Paint Pots, Marble Canyon and the Continental Divide.  Hwy #93 brings you back to the TransCanada Hwy #1.
