Best Things To Do In The Northwest Territories - Canada Road Trip Travel Documentary Part22/25/2019 We also landed a few times , which gave us the opportunity to visit Virginia Falls, an amazing 315 foot waterfall on the South Nahanni River.
Nahanni National Park is truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life! Next, we wanted to visit Canada's Western Arctic, so we drove through the Yukon, up the Dempster Highway, past the Arctic Circle, and into the little town of Inuvik. This was our first time in the Arctic and it was such a special experience to meet the locals and visit the local attractions such as the igloo church and the community greenhouse . We also visited the Western Arctic Regional Visitor Center and learned about the local Inuvialuit and Gwichin people. Many people can enjoy especially in our part of the world, the fresh air, the fresh water that we have out there and a lot of unspoiled and untouched lands. It's a big world out there and you know you've got to share. Nothing is really owned by anybody. Everyone was so excited to show us around and one local even brought us out on his boat to experience the Mackenzie Delta . We navigated through narrow channels, saw beavers gathering sticks for their dam and a massive eagle that decided to lead the way. We also did some fishing for northern pike and saw a flock of tundra swans congregating in the nearby lake. Last but not least , we couldn't leave the Northwest Territories without seeing the Arctic Ocean so we drove the Mackenzie Valley Highway to Tuktoyaktuk. The first Highway in Canada to reach the Arctic Ocean. Surrounded by pingos, tundra, and ocean, Tuktoyaktuk is a charming Inuvialuit hamlet that we loved exploring. We learned about some of the local culture, tried some local foods , wore traditional clothing, and of course , dipped our toes in the Arctic Ocean. We even climbed one of the pingos for views of the surrounding area. We're so grateful that we had the opportunity to visit Canada's Western Arctic and learn about a part of Canada that most people most know nothing about. It really felt that we had reached the top of the world. From sleeping on a floating barge on a secluded lake, to flying over the world's first World Heritage Site, to taking a dip in the Arctic Ocean. the Northwest Territories has given us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
