Sporting Adventures - Hiking & Climbing

Hiking
Sometimes, the safest hiking route in the North is the one that follows in the footprints of musk oxen or caribou. However, hikers here are often reminded to stay on marked trails. This protect the fragile ecosystem. The National Parks offer excellent hiking opportunities on marked trails.

Climbing
For the most awe inspiring views, you really want to be on top of a mountain. One particularly incredible climbing destimation is found in Auyuittuq National Park, where climbers have been gathering for years now. Here, the 1,000 metre overhanging west face of Mount Thor and the 800 metre west face of Mount Asgard offer challenges and rewards unparalleled anywhere. This site has been called a 'climbing Mecca.'
