Bisaro Cave – Heiko’s Trail Exploration and curiosity are embedded within our genes. Heiko Socher, one of Fernie’s legendary figures, was instrumental in building Heiko’s Trail just north of town up Hartley Lake Road. Bisaro Cave is one of the highlights along this 20km backcountry trail. Only explored by expert cavers, spelunkers or speleologists, a team in 2018 say this cave is the deepest in Canada and the continental USA. ElkValleyCulture.com | TourismFernie.com Photo: Vince Mo
