Chetwynd has many different trails all around town. My personal favorite that I love to do in the evenings is Mount Baldy trail. It's a well used groomed trail with many options to choose from. You can start at the bottom and go straight up to the top or slowly walk your way up. Its great for everyone!
Once your at the top its a wonderful view of Chetwynd's valley. Stop and rest for the trip down or even take another trail over to ghost mountain which is steep but very nice hike! This hike is on a trail so please very careful of wildlife and have fun!

The little giant has been Chetwynd’s Mascot for over 40 years! Working for the tourist information centre I always see people stopping and taking pictures with him.
One winter day Megan and I thought it would be fun to be tourists in our own town! We started out by taking pictures with all the carvings and thought it would be a good plan to pose with our Towns Mascot!! The Little Giant was great to snap some pictures with because he even had the Olympic torch with him!! It was a great way to enjoy one of the warmer, sunnier days of Chetwynd’s cold winters.

The First time I saw the “My Blue Ocean” by Chris Foltz was the second day into the championship, and right then and there I knew it was going to be my favorite! All that was going through my mind was wow look at all that detail! Who knew the next day it was going to look even more magnificent.
All this detail and hard work sure paid off for Chris though because he placed 3rd in 2010 Championship and also won Peoples and Carvers Choice awards!
This breathe taking piece with all its detail and is even better when you can stand there and look at every piece carved! All the carvings are wonderful but by far the Octopus is my very own favorite.
