Highlights From The Road to 150 Northwest Territories Episode:
With more than one million square kilometres of land area and a population of less than 50,000, the Northwest Territories is about as wild as it gets. It's certainly not an easy area to visit (many places are fly-in, many roads are gravel, and distances are vast) but for those who make the effort, there are incredible things to experience.
With boreal forest, arctic tundra, some of Canada's greatest waterfalls, a vibrant indigenous culture, and boundless wilderness, this is an adventurers paradise!
We explored the NWT from August 16 - September 1st, 2017!
Canada's Road to 150 is a 150-day Canada-wide multi-media road trip celebrating Canada's 150th birthday by exploring the uniqueness of this country provincially and collectively while answering the question; What makes Canada special?
We will drive to and through every driveable province and territory, showcasing Canada's natural beauty and regional attractions while interviewing Canadians of all cultures and backgrounds, including local celebrities, immigrants, refugees, and everyday rural and urban Canadians. Our aim is to dig deep into what makes Canada such an incredibly inspiring country while showing off the best of Canada's tourism to Canadians and to the world.

9000 mile RoadTrip to Tuktoyaktuk | In Our converted Travel Trailer
In Aug 2018, we took an awesome Roadtrip to Tuktoyaktuk, the north most Arctic Community in Canada which can be accessed by road. The journey began from Columbus, OH on our self-built Travel trailer. After crossing US border, we drove through the historic ALCAN highway again, and even had a chance to add our sign at Signpost forest. Throughout the way, we spent our nights in secluded spots and campgrounds for free. Waking up among the serene nature each day with amazing views is one of the best perks of traveling with your mobile home. You can find all the details about the places we stayed in our website blogs. After reaching Dawson city, we left our trailer at a campground and drove all the way to Tuktoyaktuk, since the Dempster is not very trailer friendly.

Louise Falls in Canada's Northwest Territories
Louise Falls is a waterfall on the Hay River in Canada's Northwest Territories. It is the second waterfall in the Twin Falls Gorge with Alexandra Falls just three kilometres upstream to the south. Louise Falls is shorter than Alexandra at 50 feet or 15 metres. Despite that, the three tiered waterfall is pretty impressive, especially when water levels are high, like in the video.
Louise Falls is located within the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park near the town of Enterprise and not far from from the border with the province of Alberta.
It should be noted that the first four clips of the video were taken at midnight, at the start of July. At that time of year, the sunset is around 11:15pm but it never really gets dark. It should also be noted that at the time of the filming, all rivers in southern Northwest Territories had quite high water levels due to flooding in northern Alberta and British Columbia.

The Dempster Highway is easily one of the most epic road trips in Canada, if not the entire world. Starting in Dawson, Yukon, the 700-km dirt road takes you all the way up to Tombstone Territorial Park, past the Arctic Circle, and into the Northern community of Inuvik.
During our 150-day road trip across Canada, this was one of our highlights. Driving in the fall, we loved the fall colours, and the incredible mountain scenery, as well as the tundra!
However, driving the Dempster Highway requires some planning, which is why we've created this video with some tips for driving the Dempster Highway!
