Twin Pine Hill Trail
Twin Pine Hill
A rocky hill between downtown and the old town, reached by a short trail and steps to the summit, with views over the city's buildings, the old town and Great Slave Lake all at once.
The trail was built by the city and has timber steps and signposts. The round trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and a lookout on the rocky summit offers views of the old town's houseboats, Yellowknife Bay and the lake beyond. Compared with the Bush Pilots' Monument, it draws fewer visitors, making it a good place to watch the sunset. Admission is free. The trailhead is near Franklin Avenue, and you can walk there from downtown or the old town. Rock surfaces are slippery after rain, so take care in winter.
