Last Wednesday me and my fellow Visitor Information Counceller from here in Smithers went on a FAM tour with the Hazelton & Terrace visitors centers to the historic town of Hazelton.
We took part in a spectacular walking tour of the historic town of Old Hazelton. Our tour guide was awesome and she definaly knew her stuff. On our tour we saw many different sights such as the war vetrines memorial sight, the home of the very first multi-cultural highschool in BC, the Old Paddle Boat. We even got luck enough to take a look in the museum/Library and the newly opened art gallery; which is located right inside of the Paddle Boat. We even got to check out the extra large Chesse & Checkers board painted right onto the basketball court, comes fully equipt with knee high rooks, pons, knights and the rest of the crew as well!
We found great things to see and do all over the place in Hazelton not to mention the weather was great and we all learned alot about the great history of the Hazelton Area; even got a bit of a tan doing it. Absolutly something everyone should take the time to check out!!!

About a week ago I took the walk up to the Twin Falls in Smithers B.C; it was a spectacualar sight and i got some amazing pictures for my summer scrapbook! Even the view driving up to the parking lot was spectacular. It is a moderately easy hike and perfect for families with kids. The best part is that its only a short 15minute drive from downtown Smithers and there are plenty of day use picnic areas open to the public so you can even have a scenic lunch as well. Definatly something you should check into doing while you're in Smithers!!
