Land OwnerRec sites and Trails BC
A Fernie classic. Dem Bones has gone from a rough and rooty mess to a smooth cruisy blue trail after a ton of work by crew and volunteers in 2026.
Access Info
Ride through the campground, staying to the North side of it (turn right immediately after entering the campground area), turn right on a small road next to a service building and both Stove and Dem Bones trailheads are right there.

Good trail if you want to practice riding roots. A flow trail it is not.
worldrob2
Rooty and rough. Hard to get into a rhythm.
tippeetoes
Dry and dusty, fun ride down with lots of roots. No wildlife sightings.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
