쉬운 노스웨스트 준주 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

겨울에는 이 작고 부드러운 폭포가 거대한 얼음 커튼으로 변합니다. 흐르는 물에 의해 형성되기 때문에 매년 바뀝니다. 커튼 뒤에는 사람이 기어 들어갈 수 있을 만큼의 공간만 있습니다. 그래서 어떤 사람들은 이곳을 얼음 "동굴"이라고 부르기도 합니다.

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.
