Séta a River of Golden Dreams mentén
Periodo migliore per visitare
Late afternoon (3-5 PM) for the golden light that gives the river its name. Summer months June through September offer the warmest weather and most active wildlife.
Consigli per il budget
Canoe rentals from Whistler's lakeside outfitters run about $45-60 per boat for a 2-hour trip. No park entry fee is required since the river runs through public and private land, just bring your own life jacket or rent one for $10.

Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Il River of Golden Dreams collega Alta Lake a Green Lake, snodandosi attraverso 4 chilometri di paludi e foreste. I canoisti condividono queste acque con castori, lontre e l'occasionale orso nero avvistato lungo le rive.
Punti salienti: Nel suo punto più stretto il fiume si restringe a soli 3 metri di larghezza, costringendo i canoisti a infilarsi in un tunnel di rami di salice ricadenti. L'acqua diventa di un ambrato scintillante nel tardo pomeriggio, colorata dai tannini che filtrano dalle radici dei cedri e che danno al fiume il suo nome dorato.
Consigli da insider
- Rent a canoe from the Alta Lake put-in rather than a kayak, the stable hull lets you look for wildlife without worrying about tipping.
- Wear quick-dry clothes and water shoes, you will almost certainly splash through the narrow sections.
- Bring binoculars, the marshy banks are prime birdwatching territory for kingfishers and great blue herons.
- Skip weekends if you can, weekday mornings see fewer than 10 boats on the water compared to 50+ on Saturday afternoons.
