Hiking and backpacking in the Northwest Territories
Enjoying nature has always been a part of life in the Canadian North, and that's what all our Northwest Territories trails and hikes are about. Your hiking abilities and the time you have to spend will dictate which trail you take. There are dozens of short trails and walking paths in and around our communities. You can explore these with a local tour guide or outfitter, or take off on your own for an hour or two. With a bit more trip preparation, (and a picnic) you can day hike from a community or one of our lodges. And then there are backpacking treks in the mountains or in our National Parks. These adventure vacation trips often require extensive preparation and logistical support from our outfitters or an airline.
