Being the centre of many mining and logging activities, there is a huge network of "back-roads" that are easily accessible right from the city of Fernie.
These roads provide access to some of the most rugged, and un-touched wilderness found anywhere in the world. There are backcountry lakes, rivers, recreational campgrounds and cabins, and so much more to discover in this pristine wilderness.
But don't head out on any back-roads without knowing where you are going, the network is so expansive it is easy to take a wrong turn and never find your way back to where you came from.
Be sure to get your hands on the "Back-Roads Mapbook" available at Polar Peek Books before heading out.
