Ami VitaleThis wasn’t just any assignment; it was a first of its kind. I was invited to plan a trip anywhere in Yukon and the Northwest Territories for @National Geographic and Explore Canada. To reach the most remote location, I met up with Nahanni River Adventures and boarded a floatplane that soared over the stunning peaks and walls of the Mackenzie Mountains. We flew above the Cirque of the Unclimbables in Nahanni National Park Reserve, guided by my amazing guides Joel Hibbard and Teetl’it Gwich’in guide and activist Bobbi Rose. Vast, uncharted landscapes stretched beneath us, with rugged mountains and sparkling lakes that seemed to exist on the edge of reality. In this remote expanse, I was struck by the abundance hidden within it. Lakes teemed with fish, and the forests provided everything needed for survival. The sheer magnificence of this place, with its granite peaks piercing the alpine sky brought me to tears. It reminded me of the crucial connection we all need with wildness for our own well-being. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team at National Geographic, Canada Keep Exploring, Richard Phillips, Kaya Ensor, Seth Gillis, Charlène Brochu, Bobbi Rose for all their incredible work. And a special shoutout to Heather Greenwood Davis for the beautiful story she wrote!
