Trail Notes

Golden: A Balance Bike Day Out

Golden isn't just for big-mountain riders. This half-day itinerary strings together the best stops for families with very young kids: the pump track on 9th Avenue South, the playground right across the street, a flat shaded spin along the Kicking Horse River on the Rotary Trail, and ice cream at Kicking Horse Movies. Everything's close, low-key, and balance-bike friendly.
