Update. We spent 20 days traveling through Alberta, Northwest Territories and a short drive in BC. Alberta was great, expecially Canmore and Jasper. Great campground host, Marlene, in Manning! NWT Territorial parks were great, not much else was sorry to say!
#1 Was the hottest summer in 50 years!
#2 Bugs were horrendous!
#3 Towns were dusty, rundown and did not offer much. Although each towns visitor centers were very good!
#4 Road from Ft Providence to Ft Simpson is mainly gravel. Very rough, working on some areas and spraying to keep dust down which just creates MUD. Road from Ft Simpson to BC gravel, slightly better. I am talking over 200 miles on this with 40 MPH being top speed in a camper! Also drove over 100 miles on one stretch and met ONE car!
Sorry for being so negative, not what we wanted or hoped for.
