ノースウェスト準州での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

冬には、この小さくて穏やかな滝が巨大な氷のカーテンに変わります。動く水によって形成されるため、毎年変化します。カーテンの後ろには、人が這って入れるだけの十分なスペースがあります。そのため、アイス「ケーブ」と呼ぶ人もいます。

This isn't a typical graveyard with manicured grass. Instead, you'll see how the wild northern landscape slowly reclaims the past. Between 1938 and 1946, this was the final resting place for early gold miners and their families.

The path to Bighill Lake is marked with blue ribbons during the summer months, but is not maintained. Finding your way can therefore be difficult in places. Once you arrive at the lake, a fantastic view awaits you. The lake is also a good spot for fishing.

There is also a campsite with restrooms near the landing stage for the seaplanes that are used to reach Virginia Falls. Wooden walkways make it easier to move through the forest and connect the different campsites. A short path also leads to the small lake.

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.

A well-marked path leads around Frame Lake in the heart of Yellowknife. Thanks to the elevated position on the rocks, you have a beautiful view over the lake and across to downtown with its striking buildings, especially the City Hall right on the shore.
