Ingraham Trail
Ingraham Trail (Highway 4)
A scenic road running about 70 km east from Yellowknife, linking more than a dozen lakes, waterfalls and territorial parks. It is the main route for road trips around Yellowknife.
Highway 4 is named after early pioneer Vic Ingraham. Along the way are Prosperous Lake, Prelude Lake, Cameron Falls and Reid Lake, among others. The end point, Tibbitt Lake, is the start of the winter ice road to the Arctic diamond mines. The first section is paved and the later section is gravel. In summer you can stop to boat and fish. In winter, many visitors drive to the lakeside parking lots at night to watch the aurora. There are no gas stations along the way, and winter travel requires cold-weather gear.
