Dempster Highway Tours & Trips
Picture Canada's most remote highway crossing the Arctic Circle. The Dempster runs 736 km from Yukon through Northwest Territories to Inuvik, consisting of gravel road, passing through tundra, crossing two mountain ranges, and ferrying rivers. You're seeing landscapes few people reach, including caribou herds, possibly bears, and midnight sun in summer. The highway's an adventure itself, and Dawson City and Inuvik bookend it. This is one special highway.
