Expect tundra, barren rock plateaus, wild rivers, waterfalls, deep canyons and lakes – but very few named landscape features to follow. Float planes transport hikers from Paulatuk to the trailhead beside a small lake southeast of La Roncière Falls. Then it’s a 4-km hike west to set up camp on a creek near the 23-metre high falls. If weather conditions prevent float plane transport at the end of the trip, visitors must return to Paulatuk by foot. There’s a 107-km hike from Erly Lake to Paulatuk (Hornaday River Canyon West) that takes about 10 days.
