Driving the whole stretch was not included in my itinerary, so I only drove up the Dempster to Tombstone Territorial Park, hiked one of the many beautiful mountain ranges along the pristine tundra and camped for the night.

Yukon, Larger than Life
Yukon is yet another stunning environment. I know I might be saying stunning, beautiful and gorgeous too many times, but these are the only words to describe how incredible Yukon is. I took a detour off the Alaska Highway onto the Klondike Highway up to Dawson City. On the drive there I saw grizzly bears with cubs, about ten black bears, multiple rainbows and the first sight of arctic caribou. I stayed in Dawson City for the night and the next day headed to the famous Dempster Highway, a 457 mile (736 km), gravel-surfaced all weather highway that crosses the Arctic Circle and ends in the Arctic Ocean.
