How to have the ultimate long weekend, NWT style
Take this quiz to find out how your long weekend stacks up against a legendary time in the Northwest Territories
In the Northwest Territories, the long weekend isn’t just three days circled on the calendar months in advance. Really, it’s a verb. Particularly in the summer, the long weekend is an opportunity for intrepid residents to make big plans and live even bigger adventures in a wild world that starts quite literally in their backyards.
Fly into a remote lodge for some of the best fishing on the planet? Sure.
Hike through the tundra to photograph an endless landscape that explodes with colour? Why not?
Get away from the world by hopping in a boat and choosing from an infinity of campsites on the shores of Great Slave or Great Bear lakes? Sounds perfect.
With another always-too-brief holiday in the books, take this quiz to see if your long weekend ended like an NWTer.
