Experience true seclusion in a remote, picturesque setting. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy a private, nature-filled retreat in the Canadian Rockies. With access to a creek, 3 waterfalls and a surrounding forest, this is the perfect place to escape the busyness of city life. Spend your days exploring the waterfalls and the iconic Blaeberry River!

Fir & Feather Treehouse INTRO$

2 sites ¡ Lodging120 acres ¡ Golden, BC
We left the city to be closer to nature and like minded folks who help us be our best every day! We found it in Golden, BC. This unforgettable nest high above the forest floor is your opportunity to take flight. Endless trails give you access to natural views and experiences. Snowshoes provided, then spend your evening up on the deck around the tree-top propane fire pit. Cook your meals in the outdoor kitchen or on the wood burning stove in the Trapper's Tent. Eat inside or out under the sky, then curl up in the luxurious queen bed to rest up and do it again tomorrow! After two years of building, this is the first year of sharing our labour of love! Be part of our journey by sharing your thoughts with us. Give us listing suggestions and any ideas to improve the Fir and Feather experience. Help us provide some magic. *Check out our first year's reviews on 'that other site', including winter stays. Our 120 acres include trails on the Moonraker Mountain trail system which connect to well over 100 km of biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and ski trails. Canyon Creek and the Columbia River provide views and activities for everyone. The only problem is it can be difficult to pull yourself away from the simple stillness and connection you feel while just sitting at the treehouse or off grid cabin. Isn't life wonderful?

The best camping near Kicking Horse Pass National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

Cross the Kicking Horse Pass, the highest point on the Trans-Canada Highway, and stare down onto a spectacular mountain corridor in Yoho National Park. The legendary pass opened British Columbia to the rest of Canada by rail in the 19th century. From the Spiral Tunnels viewpoint, watch a Canadian engineering phenomenon in action as trains disappear into one Rocky Mountain tunnel and emerge from another at a different elevation on the steep slopes.

When to go

The best time to visit Kicking Horse Pass National Historic Site is from mid-May to mid-October when the weather is most favourable for outdoor activities. Winter months can be harsh, with heavy snowfall and limited access, making the warmer seasons ideal for exploration and train watching.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you check the weather forecast before your trip, as conditions can change rapidly in the mountains.
  • Viewing the Spiral Tunnels is best during daylight hours, with 25 to 30 trains passing daily.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for rugged terrain and variable weather.
  • Visitor services are available from mid-May to mid-October; outside these months, plan accordingly.
  • For any inquiries, contact the park at 250-343-6783.
