Chetwynd, Sightseeing Tours

What a first date! We set off in the Bronco II down a local 4x4 trail to find some mud and test our driving skills. Not too far down the Three Culverts road, we found this mud puddle... we didn't think we would get out at first! Good thing the truck has big tires!
The Chetwynd area is full of opportunities for 4x4 adventures like this one - just remember to bring all the necessary supplies in case you break down or get stuck, and always let someone know where you are going and when you plan on being back. You never know, you just might see us out there!

With all the hot weather lately, what's a girl to do with three year old boys? Answer: take them on a camping trip to Moberly Lake!
Just a short 25 minute drive from Chetwynd, Moberly Lake has everything a family could want-gorgeous picnic area, a fabulous campground, and lots of areas for swimming and boating.
We brought the whole family and spent the day boating and swimming in between roasting hotdogs on the BBQ at the campsite and watching the local squirrels. What a fabulous day! We even got a little knee-boarding in under the afternoon sun!

Chetwynd, Attractions

Last week I celebrated Canada Day by travelling southwest along highway 97. I started out with my family in Chetwynd, B.C. and travelled to Bijoux Falls Provincial Park, a scenic tour of just 129 km. My three year old twins were very excited to see the waterfall ("Lots of water, Mommy!") and feel the cold spray off the rocks. We loved the easy access into the park and the numerous picnic spots and views of the river. We saw a few squirrels and birds, too!
