The Mount 7 Trail is a 5.6mi out-and-back hiking route near Golden, BC, that sets out from a paragliding launch site and climbs uphill to reach the summit of this iconic peak. Named for the “7” shaped sliver of snow that can be spotted on the side of the mountain in the early summer, this peak offers the best views over Golden and the surrounding area, including Navvy Peak to the north and Mount Hunter to the east. Don’t forget to bring your gear if you want to snowboard or ski the 7, which is a Golden rite of passage.
