There is a point on a Northern river trip when the outside world begins to feel very far away.
Maybe it happens when the floatplane lifts from the water and disappears beyond the horizon. Maybe it comes a few days later, when the rhythm of paddling, eating, sleeping and waking beside the river has replaced the routines you left behind.
Either way, something shifts.
Paddling in the Northwest Territories gives you time to settle into the pace of the water and experience the territory from a different perspective. Days unfold across rivers, lakes, canyons, mountains and tundra. Wildlife moves along the shoreline. Under the Midnight Sun, evenings can stretch long after dinner.
Somewhere along the way, the river starts to change how you experience time, distance and the world around you.
