Driving North

If you’re among our many visitors who prefer to drive North, you’ll discover roads and highways free from traffic hassles. They take you through scenic, unspoiled wilderness, yet there’s access to campgrounds, picnic spots, service stations and visitor information centres on all our major routes.

The highway from Alberta to Yellowknife is paved all the way with chip seal hardtop. Most of our all-weather gravel highways are wide and feature dust free passing zones. Plus you’ll enjoy the free ferry services that cross our massive rivers through the spring, summer and autumn.

For current road conditions, check the Northwest Territories road reports at www.dot.gov.nt.ca, or call 1-800-661-0750.
