Travellers journeying north through Prince George on their way to the Alaska Highway will find that Chetwynd offers rich access to the outdoors, picturesque scenery, and many amenities for travellers. Don’t miss the Chetwynd chainsaw carvings, which have been part of Chetwynd culture since the completion of the Alaska Highway in the 1940s. There are over 120 chainsaw carvings located around town, some so intricate that it’s hard to believe they have been completed with chainsaws.
