  • Yellowknife is considered one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights due to its location directly under the auroral oval, clear winter nights, and minimal light pollution. The prime viewing seasons are from mid-November to early April and from late August to early autumn. Several tour operators offer guided aurora-hunting tours.
  • Cameron Falls Trail
    This popular hiking trail is an easy day trip just outside the city along the Ingraham Trail. The trail features scenic views of the Precambrian shield and a dozen-meter-high waterfall.
  • Great Slave Lake
    The 10th largest lake in the world, Great Slave Lake offers opportunities for kayaking, fishing, and viewing the unique houseboat community on Yellowknife Bay. In winter, the frozen lake becomes an ice road and a popular spot for winter sports like ice fishing and dog sledding.
  • Prince Of Wales Northern Heritage Centre

  • Bush Pilot's Monument
    Perched high above Great Slave Lake, the Bush Pilots Monument in Yellowknife stands as a powerful tribute to the daring aviators who opened up Canada’s North. These courageous pilots, known as the lifeline of the Arctic, braved unpredictable weather and uncharted skies to connect remote communities long before modern roads existed. A short climb up the hill rewards visitors with one of the most stunning panoramic views in the Northwest Territories — overlooking Old Town, Back Bay, and the endless northern horizon. Whether you visit at sunrise, sunset, or beneath the dancing northern lights, the Bush Pilots Monument offers a moment of reflection and appreciation for the spirit of adventure that shaped the North.
