When you are eating out, try a northern specialty. Fresh whitefish, arctic char, lake trout, pike and pickerel are often on the menu. Muskox, bison and caribou are also northern delicacies.
How To Get Here
Jets connect Yellowknife with Edmonton or Calgary six times a day. The hour and a half trip from Edmonton crosses Great Slave Lake and Yellowknife Bay. There are flights from Ottawa, Ontario several times a week, crossing the Canadian Arctic. Direct flights from Vancouver, British Columbia operate during the winter season. From Yellowknife, passengers can connect to regional services, or travel on to major airports in the Mackenzie Valley.
Three highways link our northern communities to Yukon, British Columbia and Alberta. Drive up the Alaska Highway through Yukon to link to the NWT's Dempster Highway. Follow Alberta Highway 35 north to connect to NWT Highway 1, the Mackenzie Highway. British Columbia Highway 77 connects to NWT Highway 7, the Liard Highway.
There's scheduled bus service on the Mackenzie Highway, and seasonal bus service on the Dempster Highway. Vehicle and RV rentals are available for the Mackenzie Highway from Edmonton, Alberta, and for the Dempster Highway from Whitehorse, Yukon.
