There’s a magical time in the year where the mountain bikes spend more time in the garage than on the trails, the floaties and SUPs are tucked away for the season, and that legendary powder is beginning to dust the highest peaks surrounding the town of Fernie. Beautiful fall sunrises, golden leaves still hanging on to the trees, and crisp mornings that are perfectly made for a warm cup of coffee and a walk along the Elk River with your best friend. Now is the ideal time to plan that trip to the Elk Valley to take advantage of all this British Columbia gem-of-a-town has to offer.
