Fernie; Fossils & Butterflies

Bob Livsey (Nature Bob) led an enthusiastic group of RMNs up the Fernie ski hill to look for butterflies, plants and fossils. It was a cool morning, but turned warm and then hot pretty quickly. Everyone managed to get to the top of the Great Bear Express, where we had our lunch. The hike up was one great view after another and so was the hike down! We learned a little about the geology of the mountains in this area, looked at fossils and did some plant identification along the way. A great way to spend a day! We even got to go up and down on the chair lift, which was a first-time experience for some. Many thanks to everyone involved in planning this and to Bob for an entertaining and informative hike.
