Carolyn Hunter and her family of ten have a long standing tradition of combining family reunions with vacations. More often than not, these grand gatherings are conducted outside of the country, but the pandemic put a damper on those plans last summer. With the family split between Inuvik and Fort Simpson, the Inuvik crowd jumped on board for a family staycation in the Dehcho.
With both of her children residing in Fort Simpson, Carolyn figured the town would make for the perfect starting point for their adventure to the picturesque Little Doctor Lake. They flew in style with Simpson Air and stayed at Nahanni Mountain Lodge, tucked away in the trees along the lake’s eastern shore.
