The Destination
The Northwest Territories is so many things. It's the start of a journey. An attitude. A destination like no other. It is a place from the pages of history. A place that still lives free and wild. Big and big-hearted. Full of adventure and discovery. And more accessible than you think. It is endless waters and unmatched landscapes. The Northwest Territories is the last corner of North America to be tamed – home to the biggest and deepest lakes, the highest waterfalls, the fabled Northwest Passage, the forbidding Barrenlands and so much more. The Northwest Territories is the best place on Earth to witness the cavorting Aurora and the midnight sun. In summer, it's downright toasty. In winter, it is a new experience, with sundogs, moonbows, trees frosted in glitter, and roads made out of ice.
It is an immense land here for you to explore. It is waiting for you.
