About Yellowknife
Yellowknife, capital of Canada's Northwest Territories, sits on the shore of Great Slave Lake and is known for its gold-mining past and northern lights.
Yellowknife grew in the 1930s after gold was found on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, and it became the territorial capital in 1967. Old Town, on a rocky peninsula, holds floatplane docks, houseboats moored in the bay and weathered log buildings. The Bush Pilot's Monument on the Rock looks across the water, and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre tells the story of the territory's Indigenous peoples.
Top-ranked sights in Yellowknife: Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC).
