Fernie
According to an article from CurioCity, Fernie, a city in British Columbia surrounded entirely by the Canadian Rockies, offers a unique blend of small-town charm and rich history. Founded in 1898 with the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, Fernie has overcome numerous challenges, including mine disasters, fires, floods, and even a town curse. Today, it's recognized as one of North America's 'coolest' towns by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Fernie provides year-round outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing in the surrounding ancient forests and mountain trails. Maiden Lake, a popular spot in town, offers picturesque views and paddling opportunities, with nearby lakes better suited for swimming. In winter, the lake freezes, creating a scenic skating spot.
Fernie's historic downtown, featuring heritage buildings from and 1909, is a must-see. The area, showcased in films like 'Cold Pursuit' and 'Hot Tub Time Machine', is filled with vibrant shops, galleries, cafes, and restaurants, all accessible with free downtown parking.
