Hi ! :) we haven't been annoyed by any mosquitos or anything during our visit there but it was raining this day so I don't know if it changes anything ?

I'm probably in the same boat as you! I don't feel like anyone who got driven around could comment accurately ;) We walked the 5km loop and for the most part it was pretty flat, but there are some steep-ish parts and there was one portion in particular that I was glad we had come the clockwise way around, rather than the counter-clockwise route as it was pretty steep, and I wouldn't have wanted to climb UP that. Going down was fine! The piece I'm referring to is the loop where the little arctic foxes, lynx, and mountain goats are. The whole trail looks sort of like a figure eight - it's the loop on the left-hand side of the map. I would recommend going clock-wise around this portion - so take a hard left and go past the muskox and mountain goats first, rather than the moose first. There are still some uphill bits going clockwise, but that way you go DOWN the big steep bit, rather than UP it! And just take it at your own pace, and stop and look at the animals along the way - they're a great excuse to catch your breath! You'll feel great about having walked the whole thing afterwards, good luck!! :)

Hi Sophie, Thanks very much for your questions. Unfortunately we are indeed closed to the public on Thursdays. Our winter hours are Fri-Sun but you can contact one of our lovely travel partners including Northern Tales or Arctic Range to book a package including a visit to the YWP outside those dates. We also have a special tour called an Exclusive Experience you could look into via our website - it might suit your interests well. Hope we can welcome you to the YWP through either of these options. Thank you very much for your interest in visiting us. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to give me a call or email me. Manager of Visitor Services Lindsay 867-456-7400
