Description

The Dempster Highway, Canada?s most northern highway, is an all-weather gravel road through a landscape that remains mostly wilderness. From its southern starting point (Km 0) east of Dawson City, Yukon, the highway crosses the Arctic Circle (latitude 66?33? North) at Km 405. It passes from the Yukon into the Northwest Territories at Km 465, and terminates in Inuvik at approximately Km 717.5. The road also summits the continental divide between the Pacific and Arctic oceans (Km 82) and traverses two mountain ranges (Ogilvie and Richardson mountains) of the Canadian Cordillera. It is a spectacular multi-day journey, so take some time to enjoy it!
