I recently travelled to the Northwest Territories, Northern BC, and the Yukon with my friend Curtis. We drove from Edmonton up to Fox Lake for a weekend, managed to get out of Fox Lake, then travelled north to Hay River and Enterprise, NWT. From there we drove west along the Mackenzie and Liard Highways, eventually reaching Fort Nelson, BC. Travelling north again we visited the Liard Hot Springs, Watson Lake, and eventually Whitehorse. A day was dedicated to Whitehorse before heading west to Haines Junction and Kluane National Park (nearly reaching Destruction Bay).
My hope is to write a rather incomplete, selective, and opinionated travel guide based on our trip. It will be incomplete in that we missed some rather crucial destinations (like Yellowknife and Dawson City), selective in that I can only write about things that seemed interesting to investigate at all, and opinionated in that I in no way hope to provide an objective overview, instead focusing on my own thoughts and feelings throughout the trip. In this way, it will be part travel guide, part journal, perhaps interesting yet generally useless. If you’re exactly like me, it will be the best possible guide to Northern Canada. But as dissimilarities between us grow, the usefulness of this guide will diminish, until, rather quickly, it will be of no use to you whatsoever.
I will write this guide out of order and post unrefined segments to this blog. Feedback you provide may or may not influence the final version of this guide, which will likely be posted online in PDF format.
