It rained off and on during my three day visit to Fernie but that didn't stop me from enjoying the beauty around it. 

It was still raining when I left and continued to do so until I reached the turnoff to HWY 22 from HWY 3. The clouds parted and the sun shone through creating one last rainbow for me.

The drive north on HWY22 to the secondary HWY540 was quiet and scenic. Cattle grazed the wide open ranges. Snowy mountain peaks could be seen in the distance. 

I turned east on HWY540 but kept watching my mirrors so I wouldn't miss the last glimpse of the mountains.
