 I wanted to share the highlight of our trip to the Kootenay Rockies this summer - our Whitewater Rafting experience on the Kicking Horse River.
We experienced 35 kilometres of rafting, wonderful food and very friendly staff.
They acccommodated our family in that the little ones could ride in the morning with us, we all had the Riverside BBQ lunch, and those of us that met the requirement were able to tackle the bigger rapids the afternoon had to offer.
The Afternoon is where all the excitement was, however the morning was great for the kids in Yoho National Park. We went with Alpine Rafting, and I believe they are the only company that offers this sort of Family Trip. We would like to return

 I spent a day rafting in Golden British Columbia on the Kicking Horse River with my family: husband and two kids. We went with a company called Alpine Rafting. They provided all the rafting equipment. Even though we were doing one of the tamer sections of the River, we still needed to don all river attire. We had a blast and lunch was included. The price was excellent for the four of us. We floated and splashed through the Upper Canyon of the Kicking Horse River.
The Trip we did was called the Family Whitewater
I would definetly recommend Kicking Horse River Rafting to anyone that is passing through Golden. British Columbia.
