Mackenzie Mountains
62°59’N 129°01’W
The Mackenzie Mountains may offer the greatest whitewater canoeing left on Earth – an endless oasis of remote, rugged uplands, cut through by glacial rivers and bustling with mountain sheep, caribou, moose and other creatures untouched by the modern age. Rising near the Yukon border in Nááts’ihch’oh National Park Reserve, the Keele and Natla Rivers slip and slide hundreds of kilometres through the Mackenzie Range – bright and dynamic, unbridged and untamed. There’s endless opportunity to stop and fly-fish or to branch off for hikes up into the mountains and bluffs that surround these remote wilderness rivers.
