We started out on our quest to discover the landscape, waterways and spirit of the Northwest Territories. After our long flights Ottawa-Calgary-Edmonton-Yellowknife... we were happy to have a few hours break in Yellowknife before a short flight to our destination, Fort Smith. Luckily there was a large park with a lake and trails to introduce us to the NWT.

A short Northwestern Air flight completed our trip. Soon we were looking down at Fort Smith.



Our Canoe Arctic guide, Alex Hall, met us at the airport. www.canoearctic.com



We hopped in Alex's truck for a quick tour of the town and then arrived at our B&B: Whooping Crane Guest House http://www.whoopingcraneguesthouse.com/



We had an amazing suite in the cozy log home of Christine and Donald Aubrey. Lots of room for our packs and a comfortable bed for a good rest.
