In 1789, Mackenzie set out paddling up the Slave River to Great Slave River and entered another river (Mackenzie River) which headed north into the Rocky mountains. The Mackenzie River emptied into the Arctic Ocean and not the Pacific which he was hoping it would have. In 1793, Mackenzie in his second attempt left Fort Fork along the Peace River heading west. The river was narrow and full of hazardous areas of rocks and white rapids.
