Ingraham Trail, Northwest Territories, Canada 16

Description : In the 1950’s, when mineral discoveries in the Northwest Territories sparked a - roads to resources - construction boom, the Canadian federal government began to build a highway from Yellowknife to Fort Reliance, at the extreme eastern end of Great Slave Lake. The road was designed to be part of a loop that would eventually circle the entire lake, but the project was abandoned when mining potential did not meet expectations. The Ingraham Trail – named for colourful Yellowknife entrepreneur, Vic Ingraham – now ends at Tibbit Lake, just 69 kilometres from Yellowknife.
