This can be accessed at either end for a very mellow ride through the forest near Coal Creek Road. Couple of minor climbs but nothing too tough. All the local kids' bike camps use it to introduce kids to single track, normally truck dropping them at the far end from town as it is mostly downhill from there. Some interpretative signs along the way with Fernie's history.
