Always cross the streams in your boots. This prevents cuts on sharp stones and give the hiker better footing. The waist belt on a chest strap of your backpack should always be opened. Use a walking stick. Biting insects Insect repellent and mosquito jackets and hats are essential equipment.
Wind swept hills or plateaus offer some relief but are, as a rule, less suitable for camping.
Stone avalanches Stone avalanches are always a potential danger, especially during rain, in or near the canyons, around cliffs and steep hills. Ensure that your campsite location is safe. Swampy areas Large, wet or swampy areas should not be entered during or before bad weather. Immediately prior to commencing a trip into the park you must register your party with the park office in Inuvik and de-register in Inuvik upon completion of your trip.
