The Dempster Highway

The Demspter Highway is the gravel road that goes to Inuvik, and ends in Inuvuk ....so far, they are planning to extend it to Tuktayaktuk on the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
It is a fantastic road with great views but also with a well deserved reputation for chewing up tires, though I had no problems. I did end up rescuing some people.
Here are some of the views from the drive in no particular order:



Near Inuvik, in the delta where it is flat



If you click on the photo below it should become large enough to see the road in the distance.

even at this size you can sort of see the road in this one...maybe only because I know where it is



View of the Tombstone Mountains from the road.





I love the immensity of the landscape.
