Dehcho Range

Mountains rise west of the Deh Cho, broken by the valleys of rivers that flow east towards the Mackenzie. Among them the South Nahanni cuts a course through the ranges, passing great falls and deep canyons before joining the Liard. Dene people have travelled and hunted in these mountains for thousands of years, following natural corridors and the movements of animals. Stories and place names preserve their knowledge of this rugged country.
