Tuktut Nogait National Park is named after the Bluenose West caribou that are born here when the migratory herd returns to its calving grounds each spring. Other wildlife viewing includes native muskox, arctic wolves, grizzlies and the elusive wolverine. Wildflowers blanket the tundra, best viewed while backpacking or on day hikes during paddling expeditions on Class I to Class III tributaries.
