Today we decided to do the 'Golden Triangle' loop. Canmore to Golden to Radium Hot Springs and back. The first stop though, was to Takakkaw Falls - 254 meters in height and fed by the Daly Glacier with the headwaters only about 400 meters from the falls themselves. Then on to Golden past the Kicking Horse ski area -- the sky was not looking very good as we could see a large approaching storm from the west. Luckily, we were heading south from Golden, so a quick fill-up with gas and we headed through Golden and south down the rather wide valley to Radium. Lunch at the Husky station in Golden -- good food, lots of food and reasonable price (a place to note for a future visit). Then off to Radium Hot Springs where the massive and very high cut through the rocks was quite impressive. This turned out to be a great road to ride as the mountains are close on each side and we saw a fair amount of wildlife. 520 km trip.
