The MacKenzie Highway (Hwy 35 in Alberta and Hwy 1 in the Northwest Territories) is the only paved crossing between Alberta and the Northwest Territories so this is a very busy highway.
"Entering the Northwest Territories from Alberta, the friendly staff at the 60th Parallel are available to welcome you. The Visitor Information Centre is open from May 15 to September 15. Brochures, maps, fishing licences, camping permits, pay phone, drinking water, washrooms and fresh coffee area available. Aboriginal arts and crafts are on display in the centre. Audiovisual presentations depict the northern way of life and what you might expect to see on your travels in the NWT. Come in and have a cup of coffee while you take a short break."
