Kicking Horse Resort

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (KHMR) is a ski resort located 6 kilometres (4 mi) west of Golden, British Columbia, Canada. It features over 120 trails across more than 3,486 acres (14 km2) of skiable terrain and a 1,315-metre (4,314 ft) vertical drop, currently the seventh largest of any North American ski resort and third largest in Canada. The resort, named after the nearby Kicking Horse River and Kicking Horse Pass, spans the easternmost slope of the Purcell Mountains overlooking the Rocky Mountain Trench. It is located roughly 7 kilometres (4 mi) east of Glacier National Park and 23 kilometres (14 mi) west of Yoho National Park.

Kicking Horse River

The Kicking Horse River is in the Canadian Rockies of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The river was named in 1858, when James Hector, a member of the Palliser Expedition, reported being kicked by his packhorse while exploring the river. Hector named the river and the associated pass as a result of the incident. The Kicking Horse Pass, which connects through the Rockies to the valley of the Bow River, was the route through the mountains subsequently taken by the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was constructed during the 1880s. The railway's Big Hill and associated Spiral Tunnels are in the Kicking Horse valley and were necessitated by the steep rate of descent of the river and its valley.

Burges James Gadsden Provincial Park

Burges James Gadsden Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, south of the confluence of the Blaeberry and Columbia Rivers, northwest of Golden.
