If your ideal road trip involves getting way off the beaten track then this is the drive for you. Canada’s only all-season public road to cross the Arctic Circle, the Dempster Highway, is 740 km (458 mi.) of unpaved road that traverses some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. It starts near Dawson City and heads due north to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. Dramatic tundra landscapes, mountain ranges and abundant wildlife are all part of the Dempster experience. Early summer brings a variety of young animals, mid-summer heralds long days under the midnight sun, while late summer visitors are treated to vivid crimson and gold tundra vegetation.
