Dempster Highway

Just completed a side trip on the Dempster Hwy which goes to Inuvik, Yukon. We drove up about 110 miles without the trailer. The first 5 miles were not so great, but after that the road was quite good, a few potholes and washboard areas, but for the most part an easy drive. We stopped at the Tombstone Interpretive Center, which was an excellent visit. We drove up past where the treeline ends and tundra begins. We continued up past the continental divide. There were 2 small creeks/rivers very close to the divide, and sure enough, they flow in opposite directions. The landscape up that way is incredible and well worth the drive. It was 68 degrees in Dawson City when we returned and when we turned back on the Dempster it was 41. If I ever make it back this way again, I'll plan on making the whole trip to Inuvik...476 miles one way. At some point we'll be posting pictures.,
