A couple of kilometres downstream of Alexandra Falls are the Louise Falls. A beautiful combination of wooden steps and a spiral staircase let you get closer to the water.

The spiral staircase at Louise Falls is really quite impressive.

Every so often, you want to take photos of trees, even after driving past so many of them.

Hay River - the town - is at the mouth of the Hay River where it flows into Great Slave Lake. It's the end of the rail line, where everything that's shipped by barge to the Mackenzie (Dehcho) river system is transferred. There are long sandy beaches (with cold, cold water). This photo looks down the beach, past the NTCL docks, across the East Arm of the Hay River to the old settlement, which remains a Dene community and became NWT's first (and only) reserve in the 1970s.

Hay River has a very naval feel to it, with a massive syncrolift facility permitting "drydock" work and the removal of vessels from the lake before freeze-up.
