Overview

About

Saoyú and Ɂehdacho are teaching, healing and spiritual places, essential to the cultural well-being of the Sahtúgot‘ı̨nę -- “the people of Sahtú.”

When to go

The best time to visit Saoyú-ʔehdacho National Historic Site is during the brief subarctic summer, from late June to early September, when the weather is milder and the days are long. Winter offers a starkly beautiful landscape and the chance to witness the Northern Lights, but be prepared for extreme cold and limited accessibility.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions and prepare for sudden changes, as the subarctic climate can be unpredictable.
  • Be aware that there are no formal camping facilities; visitors must be self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles.
  • Respect the cultural significance of the site and the traditions of the Sahtúgot'įnę people.
  • Access to the site is typically by air or water, so plan your travel arrangements in advance.
  • Visitor services are limited, so ensure you have all necessary supplies before departing for the park.
