Or choose to learn about the traditional Dene lifestyle, traveling frosty forest trails with a lifelong trapper as your guide. Inuvik, Hay River, Fort Smith and Yellowknife offer groomed ski trails for cross-country skiers, and feature spring races. Travel one of our legendary ice roads, by truck, to see Tuktoyaktuk or Aklavik, locked in winter's grip, far from the summer road system. Or take a tour up the winter road from Yellowknife to a cozy lodge in the forest or out on the barrenlands. Make your own trail, in style, in a warm, comfortable van on tracks, with a Dene guide, to see the caribou at the edge of their range, in early spring.
Spring is also a great time to visit our communities.
