NORTHWEST TERRITORIES VACATIONS
ABOUT THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
Along the Arctic coast of Canada lies the Northwest Territories, rightfully claiming to be one of the most untamed landscapes on earth. This hidden corner of Canada is home to some of the highest waterfalls, the deepest lakes, as well as the famed Northwest Passage. The night skies are alive with plumes of the luminous green and purple aurora, the Northern Lights, that appears for nearly 200 nights of the year. Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories is known as the best viewing place for the Northern Lights. The diversity of the Territory is immense, and the region boasts 11 official languages, including Chipewyan, Dene, Inuvialuit, Cree, Inuktitut as well as English and French. The traditions of the indigenous groups and those of the fur traders, miners and bush pilots, make for a unique frontier spirited culture. Wildlife, such as the muskoxen have been grazing these lands since the Ice Age. In winter, travel along the famed Ice Roads that can only be experienced here. Go ice fishing and experience a once-in-a-lifetime dogsled ride across the frozen but spectacularly beautiful landscape. What are you waiting for?
