North of 60 – Yellowknife and the Waterfalls Route

Written by:

Flying into Yellowknife you see how sparsely populated the north is – even this southern part of the north. There are small lakes everywhere, which seem to occupy about half the land but few signs of people.  Even though it is the largest city in the NWT it seems smaller than it’s population of 20,000 and you can pretty well walk from any of the hotels to the old town and the new brew pub called the Woodyard which also has great food.  The museum (Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre) is fabulous and also has a great cafe.  The restaurants are fun and serve fresh fish from Great Slave Lake.

Okay, this is how far our guest blogger made it on her description of Yellowknife and our southern NWT road trip. So instead, here are some waterfall photos:
