Adventures In Golden

Yes, we are living in Golden, BC this summer. We are working at a campground called The Ranch (formerly Eco Adventure Ranch) and it looks like we could have another name change as owners recently changed over.  We are doing everything and anything with regards to campground operations - booking campers, mowing grass (like many, many acres), cleaning up after campers, splitting wood (as we are hoping to have campfires all summer) and really anything else to keep campers happy!

The campground is located about 7km south of Golden, BC, just off of Highway 95.  You would pass our turn off if you were leaving Golden and heading towards Radium Hot Spring.

So why did we decide to do this? Well, I was looking on their website to see if online booking was open earlier this year and instead noticed the "hiring for summer positions".  I send an email and it all seems to work out from being able to keep teaching via Zoom to allowing Cooper to join us to living in the mountains just steps away from the trails.  Like they say -- the stars aligned perfectly for this adventure to work out.

We are working a fairly normal work week, except our days off right now tend to be Tuesday/Wednesday.  We have hiking trails about 1km away from our doorstep, so that is great for getting out in the morning or evening after dinner.  We are trying to explore the surrounding area on our days off unless we have visitors coming.  We've ventured to Revelstoke, explored the trails nearby to Cedar Lake Campground (about 16km round trip) and the local trails in town (so many).

Steve & Breanne at Mount Revelstoke. Hike ended quickly because we hit snow.

You can hike up to this nearby canyon in less than one hour from the campground.
Option, continued to Cedar Lake.

This guy joined the fun in June!

We will attempt to keep updating the blog with photos and details about some of our adventures, especially when Milli gets here!!
