Yellowknife
+ My Favorites
As capital of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife has all the facilities of a much larger city, and yet retains a small town charm. This city of 18,000 is administrative centre and the legislative capital of the Western Arctic. It is the air service gateway to the rest of the territory, and for most of the year is connected to cities in the south by road.
Visit the Wildcat Cafe - a restored frontier cafe made of logs, and a favourite meeting place.
The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre provides a great introduction to the area for the first-time visitor.
Two events worth coming to Yellowknife for are, the Midnight Sun Floatplane Fly-In held in June, and the famous Folk on the Rocks Festival in July.

Whitehorse
More Info | + My Favorites
Whitehorse was founded during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1898, when over 30,000 prospectors braved the wild Klondike River on their way to Dawson City. Its name comes from the foaming white river rapids.
With a current population of 20,000, today Whitehorse is the political, distribution, communication and transportation centre of the Yukon Territory.
The scenery surrounding Whitehorse is breath-taking and there is much to see. Within the town there is the Yukon Arts Centre, the Yukon Transportation Museum, and MacBride Museum.
Two 'must-dos' are a visit to the Whitehorse Fishway - view the fish through underwater windows - and take a trip on the Yukon River Cruise.

Baker Lake
More Info | + My Favorites
The location of Baker Lake, or Quamani'tuaq in Inuktituk (meaning “where the river widens”), plays an important part in the history of this Nunavut hamlet.

Situated close to the geographical centre of Canada, and surrounded by several large rivers, the community was established as a Hudson Bay trading post in 1936, when fur traders made their way up the Kazan river, bringing with them Anglican and Catholic missionaries. In addition to its proximity to the lake of its namesake and the navigable rivers that wind their way through the region, Baker Lake is also surrounded by wide expanses of rolling tundra, home to musk-oxen and caribou.

Visitors to this hamlet can learn about the history of the Inland Inuit people at the Inuit Heritage Centre, through its extensive collection of artifacts, photos, traditional clothing and tools.

Rankin Inlet
More Info | + My Favorites
Formed after the discovery of nickel in the 1950s and the subsequent establishment of a nickel mine, Rankin Inlet has long served as a regional centre of government for the Northwest Territories and, since 1999, as the centre of government for Nunavut.

Located to the north of Whale Cove, to the south of Chesterfield and to the east of Baker Lake, attractions near Rankin Inlet include the Meliadine River, known as a good spot for trout and char fishing, and Marble Island, a major whaling site.

Hay River
More Info | + My Favorites

Take inspiration from the natural direction of the compass needle and venture north - all the way to the community of Hay River. Past the 60th parallel, the town is situated on the southern shore of Great Slave Lake, and is bordered by the river that shares its name. Hay River was founded in the 1860s when the Hudson's Bay Company set up a trading post and Catholic mission settlement. Prior to the Europeans were the Dene First Nations people, who congregated in the area due to exemplary fishing. Today, it is considered the hub of the north, serving as a gateway to many other Northwest Territories (NWT) locations via the NWT highway system, as well as being the northernmost point serviced by a railway (the Canadian National Railway).

To say that Hay River can become a bit chilly in winter may be an understatement. The temperature can dip down to a toe freezing -30 °C (-22 °F). This does not stop many from braving the frost to enjoy cross-country skiing and snowmobiling during the typically clear-sky days. In summer, temperatures can jump up to 21 °C (70 °F). The story at this time of year is the never-ending daylight (up to 19 hours a day), ideal for canoeing, fishing or gazing at the pristine beauty of the area.

If its vast boreal forests, spectacular sunsets and regular wildlife sightings are not enough to attract visitors to this little northern town, then the spectacular light displays of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in late August and October surely will.
