Travel Note
Fernie is about a 10 hour drive from Vancouver. Osoyoos is half way and a great spot to stop if you want to break up the drive. There are also numerous campsites along the way if you want a budget-friendly option (we've stopped at Nancy Greene Provincial Park before, near Christina Lake). If you wish to continue on after Fernie, Banff/Lake Louise is about 4 hours away. If you're planning on adventuring there, be sure to book accommodation/campsites as early as possible. Campsite registration opens in January.
Flight
If you choose to fly, Cranbrook is the closest airport (one hour away). WestJet, Air Canada, and Pacific Coastal all have flights there from YVR.
