Conquering the Dempster Highway: Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada

This will be a multi-week road trip with lots of off-roading, hiking, camping (including off-grid), pic stops...and.... lots of 'white-knuckle-holding-on-to-the-edge-of-the-seat' passenger reactions! (just kidding). We will also be dipping our toes in the Arctic Ocean.

Rally Point Details:

Hello Everyone -- my plan is to meet & greet at the Sundre Visitor Information Centre located north of Calgary, AB, and start the convoy towards the Yukon. For those coming from outside Calgary, you can join me in Sundre, or along the route that I will be taking. Alternatively, you can join me in the Yukon, at the Dempster Highway 'corner' (where the Klondike Highway 2 and the Dempster Highway 5 meet).

A full itinerary is available. For now, here's a couple of Waypoints (I'll add other waypoints in the itinerary that I am creating):

  1. Meet at the Sundre Visitor Information Centre
  2. Meet at the Liard River Hot Spring Provincial Park
  3. Meet at the Dempster Highway 'corner'

Now, can you pronounce Tuktoyaktuk?

You should have good tires (and a full spare), extra gas, potable water, food, jackets, camping gear, etc. I've driven the Dempster Highway many times. Please connect if you have any questions.
