Cranbrook
Cranbrook, British Columbia is a city in southeast British Columbia, located in the middle of the broad Rocky Mountain Trench. Cranbrook boasts more sunshine than anywhere else in British Columbia, and it has a feeling of openness that is reminiscent of the Canadian prairies. Cranbrook is a railway town, a mill town, a commercial centre, and an island in a sea of golf courses. It has a modern theatre and a lively arts community, a professional hockey team, and a remarkable museum that captures the experience of the golden age of rail travel in Canada. The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel is the largest rail museum in Canada.
For people who live in the small towns of the Kootenay Rockies, however, Cranbrook is the closest thing to a big city. There’s a strip that runs through town – an avenue of distractions packed with fast food outlets, hotels, automotive businesses and big-box stores, and a shopping centre.
Fernie
Fernie is a city about an hours drive from Cranbrook and is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Fernie Alpine Resort, is one of the largest ski resorts in Canada.
