Golden Triangle Day 2

The middle day of the classic Golden Triangle road tour: 107 km of pavement from Radium Hot Springs to Golden through the Columbia River Valley, home to North America's longest contiguous wetland. Rolling rather than mountainous, with a new shoulder added in both directions in 2023. Highway riding, so expect traffic.
