ノースウェスト準州の滝・トップ5

With a height of 32 meters, Alexandra Falls is the third highest waterfall in the Northwest Territories. Together with Louise Falls, they form the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park. Next to the Mackenzie Highway, there is a parking lot (with toilets) from which you can reach Alexandra Falls in just a few steps. Depending on the water level of the Hay River, you can walk on the rocks on the bank very close to the falling water, of course with enough caution.

The 15-meter-high Louise Falls are part of the Twin Falls in the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park of the same name, which is located on the Mackenzie Highway. They are easy to reach from both the highway and the campsite. This makes them one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Northwest Territories. A high spiral staircase allows you to descend to the banks of the Hay River and admire the waterfalls up close.

The spectacular, 96-meter-high Virginia Falls are located in the Nahanni National Park Reserve, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1976 and is therefore one of the first of its kind. Due to their remote location, far from any infrastructure, they can only be reached by seaplane or boat from Fort Simpson.

Cameron Falls is only a 20-minute walk from the Ingraham Trail parking lot. After a short hike through the wild backcountry, you can view the 17-meter-high waterfalls, which flow over several stages, from both sides of the river. A small bridge spans the Cameron River.

The Lady Evelyn Falls are certainly one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Northwest Territories. They are 17 meters high and flow harmoniously over the rocks, which are surrounded by forest. From the Mackenzie Highway, you can reach them after a five-minute turnoff towards Kakisa. From the parking lot at the campsite (23 pitches with electricity), it is also only a few hundred meters to the viewing platform. In summer, when there is less water flow, you can go down a staircase to the stone beach and swim or fish in the warm river. If you're lucky, pike and grayling will bite.

The Alexandra Falls is a 32 m waterfall located on the Hay River in the Northwest Territories. The falls, the third highest in the NWT, form part of the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park and has its own day use area with a 3 km trail to the main campsite at Louise Falls, the second of the Twin Falls. Situated on the Mackenzie Highway the falls are about 10 km southwest of Enterprise and 43 km southwest of Hay River. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
