Old-fashioned, covered wooden beam bridge over the Kicking Horse River, which is popular as a photo opportunity. Suburb the construction of the bridge is described very vividly.

The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge is the longest freestanding timber bridge in Canada. It spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, British Columbia, and is 46 metres (151 ft) long. Built in 2001 from locally sourced timber, the bridge's Swiss design reflects the heritage of Swiss mountain guides in Golden.

The bridge's construction was a community project involving over 100 members of the Timber Framers Guild. It serves as a popular crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, and in summer provides spectacular views of rafting trips passing under the bridge.

Vandring

A very interesting structure. The bridge spans the river of the same name and extends over the icy waters of the Kicking Horse River.
At 46 meters wide, it is the longest freestanding truss bridge in Canada. In 2001, over 100 members of the Timber Framers Guild came from the USA, Europe, and across Canada to help build the bridge.
The superstructure weighs approximately 95,000 kg and was constructed from 22,000 meters of Douglas fir. The community of Golden proudly considers the bridge, which also crosses the Rotary Trail that circles the town, a symbol of cooperation.
