TRAVEL GUIDE TO CANADA Sample country foods like caribou stew, Arctic char and mikku (dried caribou). SCENIC WALKS Mount Pelly (Kitikmeot): The well-main- tained 15-km (nine-mi.) trail is located in Ovayok Territorial Park, east of Cambridge Bay. The park is a temporary home for migratory birds and a good place to see archaeological sites and wildfl owers (www.nunavuttourism.com/parks- special-places/territorial-parks/ ovayok-territorial). Kugluk Territorial Park (Kitikmeot): This park is located 15 km (nine mi.) southwest of Kugluktuk. The rough 13-km (eight-mi.) trail crosses streams and spongy tundra to the falls, created by the Coppermine River ( www.nunavuttourism.com/parks- special-places/territorial-parks/ kugluk-bloody-falls). Akshayuk Pass (Qikiqtaaluk): Experienced adventurers take up to two weeks to complete this challenging 97-km (60-mi.) hike, located in Auyuittuq National Park. Backpackers encounter massive glaciers, river crossings and spectacular scenery in the narrow pass between Pangnirtung in the south, and Qikiqtarjuaq in the north. Go with a tour operator that handles logistics or arrange a pick-up and drop-off with local boat operators ( www.parkscanada.gc.ca/ eng/pn-np/nu/auyuittuq/index.aspx). FAMILY FUN Between February and October, enjoy a family-friendly three or four-day Arctic Weekend Getaway departing from Ottawa. Packages include fl ights, hotel and an Iqaluit tour. Depending on the season and ages of the participants, optional activities include hiking, boat tours, kayaking, ATV adventures, igloo-building, ice fi shing, dogsledding and cross-country skiing (www.arctickingdom.com/getaways/ arctic-weekend-getaway/overview).
