Travel overland from the Pacific 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 and local patrolmen and now more well known by the TV show “Ice Road Truckers”. 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 are among the oldest. North of the Ogilvie Mountains, the landscape gradually flattens to low tundra and just after crossing the Arctic Circle to Richardson Mountains, the Northern-most extension of the Rocky Mountains, come into view. From there, the roadway begins its descent into the impressive Mackenzie River Delta to arrive at Inuvik, known as the Place of the Man. The tour finishes with a thrilling excursion 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.
