Wood Buffalo National Park

Wood Buffalo National Park encompasses an area greater than Switzerland. This park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. The park contains a large, self-regulating bison herd and protects the only natural nesting ground of the whooping crane. The park spans the Alberta / Northwest Territories border and is accessed by driving along the Mackenzie Highway 5. Highway 5 is a hard-packed gravel road, as are most of the highways in the Northwest Territories. An open highway cannot be guaranteed in some winter months, so it would be a good idea to check local road more..
