YELLOWKNIFE TRAILS
The Prospector's Trail, Yellowknife This is a scenic (4 km) trek across a colourful patchwork of ancient rock. With a pocket guide from the Northern Frontier Visitor's Centre, a good pair of rubber soled shoes (and some bug dope) you can interpret the forces that formed the geological region surrounding the city.	Frame Lake Trail, Yellowknife The Frame Lake Trail ( 9 km) is an extended network of well maintained paved and graveled walkways and bike routes that circle scenic lakes, climb cliffs, and connect the Bristol monument, Lakeview cemetery and Jackfish Lake with Frame Lake and downtown.
Niven Lake Trail, Yellowknife circles a small and productive lagoon which features some of the best bird watching in Yellowknife, as well as glimpses of muskrats and the occasional beaver.	Yellowknife's Old Town (The Rock) is a must-see for all visitors. It's a rocky point of land, part of the City's Great Slave Lake waterfront. Once home to log lean-tos and tent frames, Old Town is now an upscale residential and commercial area, with a colourful past
Ragged Ass is a colloquial term for "dirt poor," and it used to be the name of a small gold mine in this area. However, the story of Ragged Ass Road involves three local fellows, a late night and just the right amount of liquid refreshment. The boys decided to rename their street Ragged Ass Road. They painted a sign and put it up, in a part of Yellowknife called Old Town. The name stuck, and soon after, Ragged Ass Road was adopted as an official street name.
