The imposing walls of First Canyon reach heights of over 1400 m. Groups often drift the length of this magnificent 26 km canyon, immersed in its splendor. The canyon walls are dotted with hundreds of caves. Close to its exit we will camp for the night at Lafferty's Canyon, with good hiking opportunities.
Day 19:Following breakfast, it's down to Kraus' Hot Spring for a soothing dip in its 32 C plus waters. From here we bid farewell to the canyons and make our way to the Nahanni's Splits, a 70 km run through a maze of islands.
Day 20: We reach the confluence of the Nahanni and the Liard Rivers and arrive at the Native village of Nahanni Butte. (Pop. approx. 100) Remote, yet surprisingly modern, a stroll into town provides insight into a culture entering the technological age. Our last camp will be on the open sand flats of the Liard River.
Day 21: Our final on-water day is completed with a short paddle to Blackstone Territorial Park. Showers and the trip end celebration await.
Day 22:After breakfast participants will begin their journey home. Day 1 - Day 16
