Nahanni National Park Reserve
in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, approximately
500 km
west of Yellowknife,
protects a portion of the Mackenzie Mountains
Natural Region. The centrepiece of the park is the South Nahanni River. Four
noteworthy canyons reaching 1,000 m in depth,
called First, Second, Third and
Fourth Canyon, line this spectacular whitewater river. The name Nahanni comes
from the indigenous Dene language name for the area; Nahna Dehe, which means
"river of the land of the Nahna people".
