Sightseeing road trip along the Dempster Highway

Enjoy this arctic road trip on the Dempster Highway. There are few sights that compare with autumn colours along the Dempster Highway. Oranges, reds, and yellows spill upon the Oglivie and Richardson Mountains to create a landscape masterpiece only nature could paint. Evenings, free of urban smog and lights, offer incomparable views of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. From Dawson, we will camp and drive along the gravel Dempster Highway, the only public road to cross the Arctic Circle in Canada. During our travels we pass through a section of the Yukon called Beringia. This area was unaffected by the last great ice age thus presenting a landscape that would have been very similar to that which greeted those early migrants who used the land bridge between Alaska and Asia.
