THE ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP
The Northwest Territories and the Yukon marked history in 1979 as they
inaugurated the iconic Dempster Highway. Crossing the Richardson
Mountains and guiding through the Mackenzie Delta, the 730 km drive to
Inuvik showcases spectacular wildlife and landscapes.
Embark on a Dempster Highway adventure and reach Canada’s Arctic
Ocean’s coast via the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH): The beach trip
that merits all the bragging rights!
The road to the Arctic Ocean is the
perfect adventure for outdoor
enthusiasts. This ultimate beach trip
begins with the Dempster Highway, 40
km south of Dawson City in the Yukon.
From soaking in the midnight sun to
“Ahhing” at the Northern Lights, the
Dempster Highway and ITH are the roads
leading to an unforgettable experience!

Along the highway, not only will you be amazed by the NWT’s wild life, you
have the privilage of learning about our Indigenous peoples.
Highly recommend stopping by Tsiigehtchic and Fort McPherson which
gives road users the opportunity to learn about the rich Gwich’in history
and culture.
Your next family camping trip could be
filled with fishing stories, hiking
adventures, learning a new craft, or
learning more about Canada’s
Indigenous history.
