Two Rivers Trail

Two Rivers Trail is a new greenway that links the Bear River Campground to the Hamlet centre along the Mackenzie River, offering majestic views while providing a safe pedestrian route for visitors and residents. This new trail, built by local craftspeople, also brings outdoor enthusiasts to local heritage sites and guided tours.

Former Anglican Church

Built around 1880, this single-story log church, complete with a gable roof and wooden steeple, is one of the oldest standing buildings in the Northwest Territories. It is located on the former Hudson’s Bay lot in the historic centre of the community. The dovetailed log structure is an excellent example of the building style of the time.

Sacred Great Bear Rock

Sacred Great Bear Rock

Towering 400 metres above Tulita, Sacred Great Bear Rock is said to be where Yamoria, the great law-giver of Dene lore, confronted a gang of giant beavers that had been drowning hunters. Yamoria killed three of the beavers and draped their vast pelts on Sacred Great Bear Rock – forming three dark circles that distinguish the mountain to this day. Hikers can follow a trail to the summit of the peak, where they’ll find a scenic lookout.

Naats’ihch’oh National Park Reserve

Naats’ihch’oh National Park Reserve is in the ancestral homeland of the Shuhtaot’ine (Mountain Dene). The Park is a place where the Sahtu Dene, Metis culture and nature are intertwined. It is a place where traditions continue. Whether it is caribou, the dense population of grizzly bears, or the northernmost population of mountain goats – plants and animals thrive here. The Park boundaries extend to the Yukon border in the west and the Nahanni National Park Reserve to the south. Waters in the Park flow into two watersheds – Begaadee (Keele River) and Tehjeh Dee (South Nahanni River).
