Far away from the pressures of urban life, the Northwest Territories conceal a sparkling landscape of mountains, rivers and canyons. Here visitors can climb, canoe, fish, and watch wildlife.

Many would picture the Northwest Territories, usually referred to as the N.W.T., as a flat and perennially icy slab stretching from the 60th parallel toward the North Pole, with the occasional polar bear or Inuit igloo to give some relief to this monotonous landscape.
