This year to celebration the winter solstice, my friend and I, took a day trip to the community of Fort Providence, NWT. It is about a 3 hour drive from Yellowknife.

Along the way you are bound to see many bison grazing along the side of the road. Just past Fort Providence is the Deh Cho Bridge that span across the MacKenzie River. In town there is a nice view of the “big river”, and my favourite the Snowshoe Inn Cafe and Gift Shop. I highly recommend taking the drive to check out this little store.
