This area has so much to offer visitors – world-class fishing, awe-inspiring landscapes, rich history and culture, and unrivaled birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Thaidene Nëné or “Land of the Ancestors” has been the focus of international attention for its pristine beauty and ecological conservation efforts. It is a part of the North like no other.

While many people are turning their attention to the pristine waters and magnificent landscape for the first time, Red Cliff Adventures owner and guide Ron Desjarlais is a Łutsël K’é Dene Elder and has known this place all his life. It’s Ron’s knowledge and living connection to Thaidene Nëné that makes tours with Red Cliff Adventures that much more memorable and meaningful.
