Are you looking for a chance to interact with nature in its most untouched form? Then you might consider a visit to Ivvavik National Park in the Yukon territory. With no facilities or established campgrounds or trails, Ivvavik is not for the faint-hearted - but the real wilderness enthusiast will find breathtaking views of nature in all its untouched beauty.

Ivvavik National Park is important because it is the first park in Canada whose inception was the result of an aboriginal land claim. Located in the Yukon, Ivvavik National Park protects a diverse array of both plant and animal life. Ivvavik National Park is also important in protecting native culture itself - in fact, the word Ivvavik means "a place for giving birth, a nursery" in the Inuvialuit, the native people of the region.
