Alaska Highway Detour - Dinosaurs, Dams, Chainsaw Carvings, and Future Flooding | GO NORTH EP. 7

Alaska Highway Detour - Dinosaurs, Dams, Chetwynd Chainsaw Carvings, and Future Flooding | GO NORTH EP. 7

When traveling without set schedules we highly recommend taking detours to out of the way places when you can. This section of our journey was just that, a large detour to check out some small towns that we would not have normally made it to. It turned out these places were amazing and each had something special. Tumbler Ridge BC was our first stop and we were surprised to find a community offering tons of outdoor recreation. There was an immense amount of hiking, biking, off roading, skiing and more that we would love to come back someday to check out. What we did have time for was a stop at their dinosaur discovery center and to go find some dinosaur footprints nearby as they are a hotspot for dinosaur discoveries and are the center of an international Geopark. Next on the drive was Chetwynd, which surprised us as they were known for being the chainsaw capital of the world with amazing carvings everywhere! This town is worth a stop for sure to spend some time marveling at these amazing pieces of art. Lastly on our detour we stopped by the Hudson's Hope and took a tour of the WAC Bennett dam. This area is located on the peace river and generates a lot of British Columbia's power. We also learned about the site C project that will flood the last remaining peace river valley. Overall this detour was very neat and we would recommend these towns to anyone with a sense of adventure looking for an out of the way spot to check out!
