Take Highway 3 to BC Highway 3A and follow 3A South to Highway

From Whitefish/Kalispell Montana:
Head north on Highway #93 through the
United States-Canada border. Once on Canadian soil, follow
Highway #93 to its end at the junction of Highway #3, also
known as the Crowsnest Highway. Turn east on Highway #3. Once
here, all of the landmarks will be as mentioned in "From
Cranbrook Airport."
From Cranbrook Airport: Head
west on Airport Road, and turn left (south) toward Cranbrook
on Highway #95a. Turn left (east) toward Fernie on Highway #3.
On your left you will see the dramatic Steeple range. You will
pass through the communities of Jaffray and Elko.
Be careful on the next stretch of highway.
It passes through some rock cuts: visibility is poor and big
horn sheep and other wildlife are often on the road.
After you pass through the tunnel, you may
notice differences in the climate. The Fernie side of the
tunnel typically has more precipitation, lower temperatures
and later seasons. On your right, you will catch your first
glimpses of the Elk River.
Once you pass Morrissey, you will see the
turnoff to Fernie Alpine Resort on your left. Fernie is less
than ten minutes away.
