The trip to Fernie, BC takes me longer than most because I like taking in the scenes. I love the snow covered mountain tops! I could park and stare at them in wonder for hours on end.
On the way I stopped at Lundbreck Falls. I noticed the sign on previous trips but had no idea that they were so close to the highway.
There's a nice little parking lot with picnic tables and washroom
facilities by the falls. Two viewing areas allow you a glimpse of the
falls from above and a staircase takes you down to the catch pool at the
bottom.
The falls were frozen with only a small area of open water. The staircase was covered in snow and once down at the bottom, you couldn't tell what was rock or shelf ice. Not a good time to venture close to the falls.
This is definitely a location that I will visit during a summer trip. I'll be sure to check out the provincial campground at the same time!
As I was leaving the the falls, a small herd of deer grazed alongside the rail line. They didn't seem to be bothered by my photographic intrusion.
Highway 3 took me west through the Crowsnest Pass where my windshield was filled with mountain scenes all the way to Fernie.
The lakes were still frozen but the small streams were beginning to flow. Deer and sheep grazed beside the highway. Fly fishers were trying their luck in the open areas of the river.
I brought skis, cleats and snowshoes for the weekend adventure. Next week...views along the Trans Canada Trail, now known as The Great Trail.
