Northwest Territories, USA
Northwest Territories bed and breakfast accommodation for Northern Lights viewing
The Northwest Territories (NWT or NT) are part of Canada's vast, remote north situated east of Yukon, west of Nunavut (Canada's two other territories), and north of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Since 1967 its capital has been Yellowknife. There are NWT bed and breakfasts in and around Yellowknife and on the shores of the Great Slave Lake where most of the Northwest Territories population and commerce is based. The NT consists largely of wilderness, punctuated in places by human settlements where you will find B&B establishments, cozy inns and welcoming lodges. Despite its remote location the Northwest Territories are not as barren as one might expect. Thick evergreen forests and verdant mountains punctuate the landscape. The immense Mackenzie River and the canyons of the Nahanni River attract bed and breakfast tourists. B&B travelers also visit the beautiful Nahanni National Park. Also of interest to the bed and breakfast tour guest are the territorial islands in the Arctic Archipelago including Banks Island, Parry Peninsula and Prince Patrick Island.
Adventurous visitors who frequent Northwest Territory bed and breakfast businesses are drawn to this immense land for canoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing and dog sledding too. The good news when you are booking a B&B, lodge or inn is that anytime is a good time to visit the Northwest Territories. The long days of summer are perfect for outdoor activities. Spring is the right time to go to the edge of the ice flow. Spring is also ideal for snow sports. The amazing Northern Lights or aurora borealis are at their best in the fall and winter especially from late August until January. Something that B&B visitors love to experience is the Midnight Sun of the long summer days. The vast Northwest Territories of Canada extend far above the Arctic Circle. Few people inhabit the territory but there are thousands of wolves, 
whales, bison, bears and caribou to be found on the Arctic plains. In fact you are more likely to spot a grizzly bear or come across a herd of bison than you are to encounter a human being. The lakes and rivers of the territory have large stocks of prize fish. Many bed and breakfasts in the Northwest Territories host fishermen. It is easy to vacation in the Northwest Territories. Yellowknife has air connections to the major Canadian cities and to destinations throughout the territories. Yellowknife itself is fascinating. This thriving city is built on permafrost. Yes, it is cold but the welcome from your hosts at your Northwest Territories B&B is warm. You can enjoy inns and lodges consisting of log buildings, luxury hotels, caribou steaks, caviar, and view dog sled teams as they careen through the snowy streets.
