Nahanni National Park Reserve

Nahanni National Park Reserve delivers the most dramatic river canyon system in Canada, where the South Nahanni River plunges 96 meters at Virginia Falls—twice the height of Niagara Falls. This UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978 boasts four towering canyons up to 1,200 meters deep, thermal springs with water temperatures reaching 37°C, and unparalleled wilderness. Its 30,000 square kilometers of untouched boreal forest and alpine tundra harbor grizzly bears, Dall's sheep, and rare orchids, making it a stronger contender for pure adventure than any other national park in the Northwest Territories.
