Page 33

Trail and Cave Access Six kilometres east of Fernie, turn off Highway 3 and left onto Dicken Road. In 500m, turn right onto Hartley Lake Road. Stay on this road for 10.5 km (you’ll pass Hartley Lake and Hartley Pass). At the 10.5 km mark, turn left onto Sulphur Creek Road (you’ll see a yellow 7 km marker on the side of the road). Follow Sulphur Creek Road for approximately 3 km to a dead end (you’ll need a 4x4 vehicle for this section). The hike begins at the trailhead to Heiko’s Trail. Bisaro Cave is approximately 1.5 km on this trail. Expect a 300m elevation gain over this short distance, beautiful vistas along upper alpine forest, and wooden ladders carved fallen logs by the legend himself. On August 13, the Fernie Trails Alliance and Island Lake Lodge are organizing a celebration to honour Heiko and the renaming of this trail. The day will include guided hikes, from both ends of the trail including shuttles and multiple distances, and dinner at Island Lake Lodge.Visit Fernietrails.com for further details.
