Arrive by road
Thinking of driving to the Northwest Territories? Even though it's likely to be a long trip, many North American travellers enjoy the challenge and sense of discovery. There are three different ways to get here by road:
The Mackenzie Highway from Edmonton, Alberta (1508 km south of Yellowknife) takes you into the southern NWT.
Drive the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson, British Columbia,
then turn north on the Liard Highway into the NWT.
Or you can get here via Canada's one and only road to the Arctic, the Dempster
Highway, which runs 777 km from Dawson City, Yukon to Inuvik, NWT.
