This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! This might be a dumb question but where exactly is this? Is the north west territories like the name of the province area? (Sorry am very dumb). 😁

I believe that's the Cirque of the Unclimbables in Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories (name correction), Canada.

Thank you! Yah, like the other person pointed out this is cirque of the unclimbables Nahanni National park in the North West Territories. Territories are like provinces but with less people.

Can you tell me about how you planned this trip? I’m from Alberta and I have been dreaming of Nahanni for years, but I don’t know how to reasonably get there. Drive? Fly? Both? Nearest town has groceries, haul everything in?

You’re not a travel guide so no need to answer if you don’t want, but I’m jealous of your adventure!

We flew into Whitehorse then drove for about 6 hours east. We then caught a float plane from close to the Yukon boarder with kluane air. After that it’s about a 5-8 h hike to this spot.

And you didn't include all these details of your trials and tribulations to get the shot in the title of the post?
