Discover the Northwest Territories
An epic landscape of boreal forest, Arctic wilderness, lakes
and wildlife awaits those who come out to play in Canada’s remote Northwest
Territories.
The call to adventure won’t disappoint as you kayak down the
South Nahanni River (with the roar of Virginia Falls in the background), enjoy
a night or two at a luxury lodge or prospector’s tent (transported by dogsled),
or get a bird’s eye view of the lake-dotted landscape in a bush plane…
Visit the capital Yellowknife for a game of night golf under
the midnight sun; go wildlife spotting at Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary or Wood
Buffalo National Park (the nesting site or the rare whooping crane). And that’s
just the tip of the iceberg

Yellowknife
Situated on the north shore of the Great Slave Lake, the
capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, Yellowknife beckons adventurers,
nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone yearning for pure nature. (If you had
to draw a line from Yellowknife to the Arctic Ocean no road would cross your
path.)
A visit to the Northern Frontier Visitors Centre will assist
you in making the most of it, with to do’s including the scenic Ingraham Trail,
a visit to the colourful houseboats of Yellowknife’s Old Town, and the exhibits
at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre.
If you’re there in winter or autumn, the Northern Lights
will put on a spectacular show!
Nahanni National Park
To experience the northern wilderness, try the Nahanni
National Park Reserve - which is great for paddlers. The flowing whitewater
Nahanni River runs through the reserve, passing through 4 large canyons.
The river also plunges 90 metres off a cliff forming the
Virginia Falls, considerably higher than the more well-known Niagara Falls.
Sulphur hot springs, mountain ranges, tundra, and forests
can all be found within Nahanni National Park.
