The Yukon's Dempster Highway.....without the blizzard! (A video)

Last year I put a video together showing our September 2012 trek north up Dempster Highway from the Yukon's Dawson City to Inuvik in the Arctic. We experienced the extremes of weather on the way which was a bit different from our usual winter time desert fare in Good old Oz. Heavy snow and poor conditions meant we didn't have a lot of visibility on our way north.

What a difference a couple of days made on the return journey. Clear skies revealed the winter wonderland that had been all but invisible to us as we slogged our way north through snow and ice. We saw herds of Caribou, the odd grizzly and the most amazing mountain scenery culminating in our return to Dawson City before continuing on along the "Top o' the World" Highway into Alaska.

Finally, I've had enough time to finish of the 2nd part of out 1600 km trek across the arctic, our return south along the Dempster Hwy.

Cheers. Mick





and for those interested, here's the northbound trek through vastly different circumstances.
