Many rivers in BC are directly affected by snow melt and warm weather. In Golden BC, the Kicking Horse River come directly from the Wapta Ice field in Yoho national park. The water is a crisp 4 degrees all summer long, and 12 hours before we raft on it, it was ice and snow. It's as glacial and fresh as it gets.

Third week in June 2010 the weather got hot, and the river came up. Check out this video from Glacier Raft Company as they take people on a thrill of a lifetime down the Kicking Horse river. Filmed on June 23/24.

Summer has arrived and the whitewater is amazing in July on the Kicking Horse River in Golden BC.

Glacier Raft Company has been guiding daily trips on this beautiful river for 28 years. Have a look at the video for some raw clips to really give you the feel for what it's like out there.
