Frame lake to Bristol Monument Hike Return
A scenic hike through Yellowknife’s beautiful trails, leading to an iconic piece of aviation history! This 2.5–3 hour guided hike follows the Frame Lake Trail to the Bristol Monument, where a Bristol Type 170 Freighter stands as a tribute to the North’s pioneering aviation past.
