Introduction: Join us as we travel overland from Whitehorse to the Arctic along snow covered highways and roadways built of ice along ancient wildlife corridors and traditional trading routes of First Nations traders, later used by Klondike Gold Rush prospectors. The route offers some of the greatest geographic diversity in the country; the Tombstone Mountains in the central Yukon are among the youngest mountain ranges in North America, while the low rolling Ogilvie’s with their naked spines were not glaciated during the last Ice Age, and are therefore among the oldest. North of the Ogilvie Mountains the landscape gradually flattens to low tundra and just after crossing the Arctic Circle the Richardson Mountains, the Northern-most extension of the Rocky Mountains, come into view. From there, the roadway will begin it’s descent into the impressive Mackenzie River Delta; 12th largest in the world, to arrive at Inuvik, known as the Place of Man. The tour finishes with a thrilling excursions to the Inuvialuit village of Tuktoyaktuk, on the Arctic coast, accessible only by a winter “ice-road” constructed out of the frozen ice of the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Ocean. We then fly back to Whitehorse where the tour ends.
