Canada - Northern Territories / Off the beaten track.

[ge0rge]

I've touched the western and eastern bits of Canada, both fantastic and could do with spending more time in Vancouver but I REALLY fancy doing something more off the beaten track..

You know like in those films you see where they fly in on a sea plane to an epic lake and stay in some sort of log cabin and really get in touch or overwhelmed by the flaura / fauna ...

Im thinking of getting flights into Saskatchewan (if possible from London) and getting an internal flight up to Yellowknife and perhaps hiring a car from there and driving around / finding out more once up there.. But need to do a lot more research and was hoping a few fellow car nuts would be able to assist/advise.

Has anyone on here gone off the beaten track and what were the best resources you found?

If you've got any advice / tips id love to hear..

Cheers
