    Also Nevados if you like Mexican food. Cool chocolate place called Beanpod, too. A good kid's trail (depending on age I guess) is Lazy Lizard. All rideable on a gravel bike.

    If you haven't ridden the gravel around Fernie I think you're in for a treat. I rode a small section of the route and really enjoyed it.
