A little (!) closer to home (for me) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dempster_Highway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dempster_Highway is on my bucket list. With the opening of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuvik%E2%80%93Tuktoyaktuk_Highway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuvik%E2%80%93Tuktoyaktuk_Hig... I can drive all the way from the Lower Mainland to the Arctic Ocean.
- lenticular 8y agoI've driven that as far as the Ogilvie Mountains. Tombstone valley there is hands down in the top 5 most beautiful places I've been. And I have been to many mountain ranges on four continents.
- vhodges 8y agoJust took a look at wikipedia for both and looks very nice.
- grecy 8y agoI've driven the road a bunch of times, summer and winter. It is epic. http://theroadchoseme.com/the-dempster-highway http://theroadchoseme.com/the-dempster-highway http://theroadchoseme.com/the-dempster-highway-fall http://theroadchoseme.com/the-dempster-highway-fall Standing on the Arttic Circle on the winter Solstice is a lot of fun (high temp for the day was -49C (-56F), sun just kissed the horizon) and the Dempster is a lot more scenic than the Dalton. It's also really fun in summer - get sunburnt at 3am, go to bed and realize you still have sunglasses on, etc. etc. Let me know if you have any questions, when I'm not on the road I live in Whitehorse so I know the area pretty well.
