TCT Alternative Route Fernie to Sparwood

This Route utilizes for the most part the powerline road that forms the backbone of the Coal Discovery Trail. The Coal Discovery Trail weaves in and out alongside the PWL Road. The CDT itself is well signed. Fernie to Hosmer to is quite hilly(not recommended for loaded cyclists) but flattens out after Hosmer. North of Hosmer the land is managed by the Nature Conservancy of Canada who may at times restrict public access to this route.
