Northwest Territories

The Northwest Territories is where Canada’s wilderness goes big! Big skies, big lakes, and big adventures. Its history is tied to Indigenous cultures, the fur trade, and the exploration of the Northwest Passage. Yellowknife, the capital, grew from a gold mining town into a vibrant northern city filled with art, culture, and festivals.

Great Slave Lake, one of the world’s largest and deepest, offers fishing, boating, and breathtaking scenery. Nahanni National Park Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a natural wonder with towering canyons and Virginia Falls, twice the height of Niagara Falls. The aurora borealis regularly illuminates the night sky, making the Northwest Territories one of the best places on Earth to view the northern lights.

From the historic community of Inuvik to the endless Mackenzie River, the Northwest Territories is about as Canadian as it gets! Wild, welcoming, and unforgettable.
