Along the way the group hiked with the torch around Virginia Falls to the top of The Gate overlooking Pulpit Rock, and along Lafferty’s Creek canyon, which involved swimming the torch through the creek. The torch was carried by students from Nahanni Butte School, Trout Lake School and Wrigley School.

Le flambeau des Territoires du Nord-Ouest a descendu la rivière Nahanni en radeau dans le cadre d’une excursion scolaire de huit jours dont les chutes Virgina étaient le point de départ et Nahanni Butte, le point d’arrivée. Au cours de son voyage, le groupe a fait de la randonnée autour des chutes Virginia jusqu’au rocher Pulpit, flambeau en main. Les élèves des écoles de Nahanni Butte, de Trout Lake et de Wrigley ont aussi longé le ruisseau Lafferty et nagé en tenant bien haut le flambeau.
