Fernie, Sightseeing Tours
The discovery of coal brought development and wealth to some of the most remote parts of the Canadian Rockies (Fernie, Sparwood & Elkford) - and fueled the locomotives of the Canadian Pacific Railway for more than half a century. Coal mining continued in the Elk Valley today, but it co-exists with mountain biking, fly-fishing, river rafting and world-class winter recreation.
