Choose a highway and go
Each of our six road routes offers a different perspective on the Northwest Territories. For the adventure of a lifetime, drive the 730 kilometres Dempster Highway from Dawson City, Yukon, to Inuvik in the Mackenzie Delta, and then continue 140 kilometres further to Tuktoyaktuk on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. In the southern Northwest Territories, head east and south to Wood Buffalo National Park, and the Slave River rapids at Fort Smith. Take the Deh Cho Travel Connection route to visit a series of waterfalls and hiking trails, and stop at Fort Simpson, gateway to Nahanni. Head north, crossing the Deh Cho Bridge toward Yellowknife on the north shore of Great Slave Lake. For road tour information and campgrounds en route visit nwtparks.ca
