Home to only 60,000 people, it's one of those 

 rare places where manidnd is dwarfed by natures 

 sheer scale and majesty. 



The gateway for most travelers is Yel- 

 lowknife, the capital and main jumping-ofif 

 point for the many activity options. To get 

 your bearings, both historical and visual, 

 climb up to Old Town where the Bush Pilot's 

 Monument recalls your pioneer predecessors. 

 Below, the city spreads out to the scalloped 

 bays of Great Slave Lake. Then, after a lunch 

 of caribou steak at the nearby Wildcat Cafe, 

 it's time for a cultural immersion course at the 

 Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre 

 where local carvings and dioramas capture 

 local life. If you still have time, take the four- 

 hour barbecue trip to Great Slave Island 

 aboard the MV Naocha, drive the six miles 

 north to the Takhini Hot Springs for a sooth- 

 ing dip, or drop by the Book Cellar to load up 

 on Jack Londons for the next part of the trip. 



Nobody travels to the top of the world just to 

 tour Yellowknife. Instead they come to indulge 

 their passion, whether it be hiking into virgin 

 territory — especially the national parks of 

 Auyuittuq and Nahanni — and camping by 

 lakes as reflective as mirrors, or canoeing 

 through the lace-work of tributaries that filter 

 out from the Mackenzie River. The biggest 

 draw, however, is to stay in the wilderness lodges 

 like Blachford Lake, Drum Lake, or Sitidgi Lake 

 and test your skill against lake trout, char, arid 

 grayling so big they stretch even a fisherman's 

 imagination. 



CAYMAN ISLANDS, 

 THE CARIBBEAN 



I ost people think of the Caribbean 

 IH in terms of developed pleasures 

 where local culture is something 

 you see on the cabaret stage and 

 "getting away from it all" means going back to 

 your hotel room. The Caymans, however, offer 

 another perspective — three islands each with 

 its own unique slant on the sun, sand and sea 

 experience. 



There is the modern allure, a pleasure 

 ground, centered around Seven Mile Beach on 

 the western end of the biggest island. Grand 

 Cayman. This is the place to lie on the beach
