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.

- 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.
