If hitching in the summer, be prepared for swarms of black flies, horseflies and mosquitoes, as well be aware that there are many black bears in the area and it is not uncommon to see them. Speaking as a seasoned hitch-hiker of Northern highways, don't opt for rides that will drop you off on a stretch of highway, its safer to start and end legs of your trips in communities or at the very least, near a gas station.
Also, for summer travelers, be aware that there is a ferry crossing at the [[Mackenzie River]], roughly 315km south of Yellowknife. There is no cost for the ferry, and it runs from 6am - Midnight seven days a week. If traveling Northbound, the last ferry crossing is at 11:30pm, and if traveling south, 11:45pm.
