When you get to the town of Golden, the tourist pamphlet is called Golden Rules and it does! Situated between Glacier NP (Canadian version) and Yoho National Park, it’s got quite a lot going on. The first day was a rain-out so we just did laundry, slept in and  had a George Austin walk-about-the-town. (Which means… We found the local brewery).

Today was beautiful, so we went  to Yoho NP where dogs are allowed apparently everywhere. First, we went to Wapta Falls. Then we had leftovers for lunch on the porch of the historic lodge at Emerald Lake. We walked around Emerald Lake and took advice from a fellow trail blazer from Seattle who works for Amazon to walk to  Takakkaw falls. Takakkaw Falls is the second highest falls in Canada and only a short distance from where we were. All in all a great day.
