Guided road tour up the Dempster Highway
|
|
Explore Canada's most northernly highway on this road trip up the Dempster Highway, Yukon. Your destination is the hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk (Tuk), NWT, (pop. 1000) located at the uppermost edge of Canada on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. To get there, you will travel the Klondike Highway, turning northward up the famous Dempster Highway, the only Canadian road to the arctic. You will visit the historic gold rush town of Dawson City, YT, and the far flung, mainly aboriginal communities of Fort McPherson, Arctic Red River, Inuvik and Tuk in the Northwest Territories. In this land of twenty-four hour sunlight, dramatic views from almost anywhere appear to be endless.

Many local residents hunt, fish and trap, relying on ducks and geese in the spring, caribou in the fall and fishing year round. Your local guide will introduce us to the Inuvialuit way of life. During a tour of the Tuk, you will sample some local fare, vist a pingo and stop for a traditional toe dipping ceremony in the Arctic Ocean.
