Reisroute
Reis met ons mee over een fascinerende route naar de Noordpool, langs ongerepte wildernis en oude wildgangen, en traditionele handelsroutes van First Nations handelaren - later gebruikt door goudzoekers van de Klondike en NWMP-patrouilleurs.
De route biedt een van de grootste geografische diversiteit van het land; de Tombstone Mountains in het centrale Yukon behoren tot de jongste bergketens van Noord-Amerika, terwijl de laag glooiende Ogilvie's met hun naakte stekels niet vergletsjerd werden tijdens de laatste ijstijd, en dus tot de oudste behoren. Ten noorden van de Ogilvie Mountains wordt het landschap geleidelijk vlakker tot lage toendra en net na het passeren van de poolcirkel komen de Richardson Mountains in zicht, het noordelijkste verlengstuk van de Rocky Mountains.
Vanaf daar begint de weg zijn afdaling naar de indrukwekkende Mackenzie River Delta, de 12e grootste ter wereld, om aan te komen in Inuvik, bekend als de plaats van de mens. De tocht eindigt met een spannende excursie naar het Inuvialuit-dorp Tuktoyaktuk, aan de Arctische kust, bereikbaar via een grindweg langs de Mackenzie River en de Noordelijke IJszee, waar we de kans hebben onze tenen in de Noordelijke IJszee te dompelen.
Reisprogramma
Dagen 1
AANKOMEN IN WHITEHORSE
Startpunt
Whitehorse International Airport (YXY), 91633 Alaska Hwy, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 6E6, Canada
08:00 - 20:00
Dagen 2
WHITEHORSE - DAWSON CITY
Prior to the late 1950’s, the only way to travel to Dawson City in summer was on a majestic paddlewheeler like the SS Klondike. Today, we’ll cover the 550km distance in just a few hours. Our route today takes us through the heart of the Yukon interior more or less along the Yukon River valley. We’ll stop for a coffee in the morning at Braeburn Lodge, famous for its massive cinnamon buns, then continue northbound on the Klondike Highway passing through several small native villages and settlements including, Carmacks, Pelly Crossing and Stewart Crossing. Near Carmacks, the road offers great views of famous Five Finger Rapids and about an hour outside of Dawson, we’ll stop at the Tintina Trench overlook for views of the expansive Yukon interior with the Ogilvie Mountains beyond that we’ll pass through the day after tomorrow. After a relaxed dinner a visit to Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall offers poker games and Cancan-Dance-Girls. Overnight accommodation in Dawson City.
Dagen 3
DAWSON STAD
Na het ontbijt ontdekken we Dawson City. Een bezoek aan de Jack London en Robert Service hutten en het museum staan op het programma. Een hoogtepunt is de rit naar de Bonanza en Eldorado Creeks waar we de historische Dredge #4 en een actieve goudmijn bezoeken. Je hebt de kans om je geluk te beproeven bij het goudzoeken in de Klondike. Aan het eind van de middag rijden we de Midnight Dome Road op voor een fantastisch uitzicht op Dawson City en de Yukon River. Na een echt noordelijk diner heb je de tijd om de stad zelf te voet te verkennen. Overnachting in Dawson City.
Dagen 4
DAWSON CITY - ADELAARSVLAKTEN
We’ll get an early start today and travel to the Dempster Highway. The Dempster is one of the truly great Canadian roadways. Completed only in the late 1970’s, the Dempster is still the only fully public road in North America to cross the Arctic Circle. Today’s drive is considered most scenic; Tombstone Territorial Park encompasses the jagged peaks to the West that give the park its name and further along, the Ogilvie Mountains offer superb scenery and stunning vistas. Wildlife is often spotted along the roadsides, so keep a good watch for foxes, the occasional wolf and caribou. We’ll stop for a picnic lunch at a creek-side campground, where gray-jay’s, or ‘camp-robbers’ as they’re known locally will keep us company always happy to help with leftovers. As we arrive at Eagle Plains in the late afternoon/early evening, the modest hotel, fuel station, and highway maintenance station – the only civilization for approximately 300km in either direction - feels like an oasis! Overnight ccommodation in Eagle Plains.
Dagen 5
ADELAARSVLAKTEN - INUVIK
Departing Eagle Plains, our first stop is at the Arctic Circle crossing, where we’ll enjoy a celebratory glass of champagne to commemorate this special occasion. After crossing a mountain range and two rivers (the Richardson’s and the Mackenzie and Peel Rivers), we’ll visit the First Nations community of Fort MacPherson. The famed Lost Patrol, found after they perished by RNWMP Corporal Dempster - for whom the highway is named - is laid to rest here. A former Hudson Bay trading post, some native elders still wonder the village in Hudson Bay print dresses. Inuvik is a relatively young community with an ancient history. The Canadian government commissioned the building of the town in the 1950’s when it became apparent that the nearby traditional village of Aklavik, was slowly sinking into the delta. Inuvialuit people (Inuit, once referred to pejoratively as Eskimos) were also moved down from various points on the Arctic coast. Appropriately, the name Inuvik means Place of Man in the Inuvialuit language. We’ll take a short tour of the village on the way to hotel and you’ll have time to explore the town on foot in the evening. Accommodation in Inuvik.
Dagen 6
INUVIK - TUKTOYAKTUK
Today will be a memorable; we’ll travel along the expansive Mackenzie River delta towards the Arctic coast. At the rivers entrance into the Arctic Ocean, the road turns northeast and travels along the coastline of Arctic Ocean toward the village of “Tuk” as it is known by residents. Not far from town, you’ll see the first of several ‘pingos’. These are mountains literally made of ice; heaved-up season after season with the annual freeze and thaw. The tallest is over 100m! We will be met by local guides who will take us on a tour of their unique village. Stops along the way include the historic Lady of Lourdes schooner and some of Tuk’s famous community buildings such as sod houses and churches. You’ll also see the Northern Early Warning site (formerly DEW Line) and even get a chance to dip your toe in the Arctic Ocean! We’ll be invited to a traditional lunch and inuit cultural experience at a local resident’s home. Return to Inuvik in the late afternoon. Accommodation in Inuvik.
