| Description: |
| An alternate site east of
Yellowknife on the Ingraham Trail, which is actually a roadside
scenic viewpoint. There is great potential for highway
dust unless the wind is coming from the north. The site
itself is a gravel pullover. The horizon is unobstructed to the
northwest. There are no services. |
View towards the northwest. |
