Technically a hike, but with 57 pack raft water crossings it could be seen as a canoe trip with frequent portaging.

Includes a map of the route and some stunning photos of country very few people were allowed to see in 2020.

Saddest statistic: 800 km, 6 (yes, six) caribou.

Phenomenal trip...I salute you! I spent years guiding on Kasba, Kazan, Enadai, Mosquito, Dubawnt...always enjoyed day hikes and exploring over the next ridge...many times contemplating extended hikes through the tundra. Congratulations on the successful completion of your adventure.
The caribou stat is mind blowing...

Thanks for sharing. The caribou\wolf situation is scary.

Thanks Raven4, but it wasn't my adventure: I'm just another envious reader.

That's incredible

Those that have flown over the tundra country know that it seems there is about as much square milage covered by water as there is land. Eskers truly are amazing to hike along, however much of the rest can be spongy or ankle busting, sketchy walking. The tundra is a glacial piece of artwork...addictive. Really is an incredible accomplishment...would make many of my local Dene friends proud. And also sad about the lack of "deer".

Really neat. Thanks for sharing that. Like others I've often daydreamed about walking across the tundra. Will probably never do it but it's fun to think about and fun to see someone who has.

Wowee.
