Specialty Hike – Ancient Forests Summer 2023
The secret history of Trees: Ancient Forests
Uncover the story behind the burnt-out stumps that dot much of the mountain and how they’re part of a curse from Fernie’s past. Explore the mystical, 800-year-old Old Growth Grove and discover how it gives away the secret of Fernie’s incredible amounts of powder snow in winter.
