Golden is a town in southeastern British Columbia, Canada. Much of the town's history is tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway and the logging industry. Today, the town's economy still relies heavily on those two influences, but the development of Kicking Horse Resort, along with other outdoor adventure companies, has allowed the town to diversify into tourism.

Golden is nestled in the Columbia River Valley , surrounded by three different mountain ranges and five National Parks; Yoho National Park, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Glacier National Park, and Kootenay National Park.
