About Ulittaniujalik National Park

Ulittaniujalik National Park is a 5,293 km² wilderness park in Quebec's Nunavik region, created in partnership with Inuit and Naskapi communities. Its name means 'the place where there are steep cliffs,' reflecting its dramatic plateaus, cuestas, and mountain ridges that dominate the landscape. The park encompasses three distinct ecosystems: tundra, taiga, and boreal forest, with key features including Pic Pyramide at 457 meters elevation and the historic George River, a traditional passage for Indigenous peoples and once a major migration corridor for caribou. The park is entirely roadless and requires backcountry skills and complete self-sufficiency. Operations are primarily June through September, with access exclusively by chartered aircraft or watercraft.

The prime season runs July through mid-September, when Arctic tundra conditions are mildest, daylight is extended, and weather is most stable. July and August offer the warmest and most reliable conditions for backcountry activities. June is cooler with shorter daylight and potential snow, while September begins the transition to winter with early freezing temperatures. Winter (December to March) brings extreme cold and is only for highly experienced adventurers with specialized equipment. Spring (April to May) offers transitional conditions with limited accessibility.
