Grab a plate-sized eggroll and a coffee. The locals eat here, and it is a reliable way to fuel up before the evening chill.

Northern Arts and Cultural Centre
Walk to the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre. Find a spot on the grounds or just outside the entrance to wait for the sun to drop toward the WSW.
18:51
Head to the Gold Range Hotel for a drink. It is the best-known drinking establishment in Yellowknife. On weekends, the country-and-western music adds a layer of atmosphere that is impossible to describe from a guidebook.
Local tip
The sun sets early in October. If you arrive too late, the light will be gone. The walk from the NAC to the Gold Range Hotel is short, so you can linger at the viewing spot without rushing.
