Nahanni - Hiking River

★★★☆☆ 3.0

About

The Nahanni region offers exceptional hiking opportunities through one of Canada's most spectacular national park reserves. Access the Cirque of the Unclimbables, explore alpine plateaus, and trek through deep river valleys with views of granite spires and hot springs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site provides backcountry hiking ranging from day trips to multi-day mountaineering adventures, but requires fly-in access and advanced wilderness skills. Best weather occurs during the brief northern summer when temperatures reach 10-25°C and near-constant daylight illuminates the rugged Mackenzie Mountains landscape.
