Dehcho
The Dehcho travel connection links the Mackenzie, Liard and Alaska
highways, forming a loop through nothern Alberta, the Northwest
Territories and British Columbia. In the Northwest Territories, the
Dehcho connection takes you through dramatic wild landscapes carved by
rivers. We call this adventure highway the Waterfalls route.
The
waterfalls created by the Hay, Kakisa, and Trout rivers are never before
seen grand spectacles. Where the highway connects to each river, there
are attractive territorial parks and campgrounds. Twin falls territorial
park, near the Alberta border, boasts two spectacular waterfalls coloured
gold with the clay carried by the Hay river. At Kakisa, there is
excellent fishing near Lady Evelyn Falls. At Fort Providence, marvel at
the power of the Mackenzie river. Further west, at Sambaa Deh Falls
Territorial park on the Trout river, one waterfall is visible from the
highway, and one is a short hike upriver. Look for fossils deposited by
the ocean that once lapped these shores.
