I am back home and it is green but I would go north again. I loved visiting Rosie, although I probably wouldn't go to Hay River as a tourist. I would go back to Yellowknife as a tourist in a different season, probably when the Aurora Borealis are more active and easier to see.
I went dogsledding and Aurora viewing in Yellowknife, along with shopping and walking all over the townsite. We went to Enterprise, just outside of Hay River, for burgers and to see one of the Twin Falls. I went to pool in Hay River twice and enjoyed shopping in a place where Red Peppers are $5.49/lb. It's amazing anyone can afford to eat up there.
So below is a link to see a pictorial reference of my adventures. I didn't take any pictures of dogsledding, as I was driving the sled. It was a good time but a little like going on the kiddie rides after the mammoth roller-coaster. The dogsledding was a great beginner tour and would be fabulous if you had no prior experience. But I have one experience which was different enough to make this one not as exciting. I would recommend it and the company is very conscious of having all levels of ability to deal with. I also went Aurora viewing, but my camera doesn't capture the experience well. If you are going to do this tourist activity, take a camera that will let you do manual shots and get a tripod. I couldn't hold my camera still enough and the length of time the shutter was open was too short to really capture them. So you will see my attempt. I am hoping my new friend Sophia, whom I met at the B&B, will send me some of hers.
