When we say the Western Arctic is out there, we mean it—getting here via the Dempster Highway will have you traveling on the most northerly drive in Canada. It’s also the only place in Canada where you can reach the Arctic Circle by road. Visit the homelands of the Gwich’in and Inuvialuit people and see the Arctic Ocean from Tuktoyaktuk, Aklavik, and Inuvik, three main towns in the region. Other draws include Tuktut Nogait National Park, all of the many pingos (dome-shaped ice hills), and reindeer.
