Winter road veggies

Written by:

We get better vegetables in town when the winter road is open, so we’re able to make more vegetable-centred meals.

Délı̨nę

We went on a work road trip to Délı̨nę, accessible via the winter ice roads, and located on Great Bear Lake.

Crossing Great Bear Lake on the ice road

We went to visit the parks office for Saoyú-ʔehdacho, the largest National Historic Site in Canada. Everything is bigger here: Great Bear Lake is largest lake entirely in Canada, the 4th-largest in North America, and the 8th-largest in the world. The largest lake trout ever caught was from Great Bear Lake, weighing in at 32.8 kg (72.3 lb).

Scenic views in Délı̨nę

Last summer we paddled down the Great Bear River, but we started at the mouth of the river and didn’t go all the way into Délı̨nę, so this was my first visit.

Jumping on Great Bear Lake

On the drive, we saw four caribou, which was a nice treat.
