While there is still plenty of snow in the alpine, the warmer weather this May has started to open up many of the lower elevation trails around Fernie. For outdoor enthusiasts, that means there are plenty of options for exploring the valley and mountain trails of Fernie… all just in time for the May long weekend!
Here are some suggestions on where to explore this May and early June:
Montane & Castle Mountain Area – Starting at the old historic barn in Montane, there are several excellent hiking and biking trails the the Montane & Castle Mountain area including a section of the Trans Canada Trail.

The trail Broken Derailleur is in great shape this spring!
The Elk River Trails – the city trail network which follows along the Elk River is a perfect early season trail for walking, running or biking.
