The Cirque of the Unclimbables’ granite spires rise out of the lush alpine meadow, at Náįlįcho (Virginia Falls) the South Nahanni River surges over a drop twice the height of Niagara Falls. Nahanni National Park Reserve, encompassing 30,000 square kilometers, is a designated UNESCO world heritage site. The Dehcho First Nations welcome adventurers to Nahʔą Dehé, land of peaks, plateaus and wild rivers. Les aiguilles de granit du Cirque of the Unclimbables s’élèvent au-dessus de la prairie alpine luxuriante. À Náįlįcho (chute Virginia), la rivière Nahanni Sud plonge à une hauteur deux fois supérieure à celle des chutes du Niagara. Inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, la réserve de parc national Nahanni s’étend sur une superficie de 30 000 m2. Les Premières Nations du Dehcho vous accueillent à Nahʔą Dehé, pays des pics montagneux, des plateaux et des rivières sauvages. Source: Parks Canada Website (2022)
