Take in our music and art festivals, spring carnivals and outdoor sporting events in spring, summer, autumn or winter.
The long days of northern spring offer great opportunities for snowmobiling, skiing and ice fishing. Bundle up and get out of doors!
Day Hikes: In larger Northwest Territories communities, walking trails are often marked and signed. Our local trails lead to favorite picnic spots, often by a lake, with a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. For information on trails in and around our communities see Where to Explore, ask at a visitor center or at a community or band office. It's always good idea to let someone know your plans and when you'll be back.
Backpacking: If you long for a challenge, we guarantee you’ll find it if you go backpacking in the Northwest Territories. Plan a wilderness trip in the Mackenzie Mountains, on the Canol Heritage Trail or in one of our National Parks. You must be experienced and well-prepared and you will need some logistical support. Wilderness outfitters offer guided trips on foot or horseback in the Mackenzie Mountains and hiking trips in our National Parks.
Climbing: You'll need logistical support if you plan to climb in the Northwest Territories. The Cirque of the Unclimbables, for example, near Nahanni National Park Reserve is a destination for experienced climbers far from any services. You’ll be dropped off by aircraft at the start of your climb and you'll need a pick up back to your starting point.
Play safe: Rescue services and air ambulances are expensive. Ensure you have the required skills and the right gear. Whether you plan a day hike or a backpacking adventure, our outfitters can assist with getting you there and supply necessary camping and communications gear.
