The Canol Trail is the longest (350 kilometre), a toughest hiking trail in North America, cutting a path through the Mackenzie Mountains, to the Yukon border.

The trail follows the route of the Canol Road. The road was constructed during the Second World War to build service a pipeline bringing oil from Norman Wells to Whitehorse YT.
