Fairy Creek Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Fairy Creek Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge is a wooden-covered bridge with a wooden carving of "Fernie" on top, sitting just 400 meters west of the Tourism Fernie centre. It's an iconic local landmark and is best experienced from the bike path and not the road.

Mount Proctor Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Mount Proctor Trail climbs steadily through dense forest before emerging onto open slopes and rocky terrain high above Fernie. The route is known for its sustained elevation gain and rewarding views, making it one of the area's classic summit hikes. As you climb, the forest gives way to increasingly expansive views of the Elk Valley, surrounding mountain ranges, and the town of Fernie far below.

Fairy Creek Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Hidden in the forest on the lower slopes of Mount Proctor, Fairy Creek Falls is one of Fernie's most accessible waterfalls. Fairy Creek tumbles over a rocky ledge into a narrow gorge, creating a picturesque cascade surrounded by mossy forest and steep canyon walls.
