We drove the Dempster in 2016,. Beautiful drive. All gravel , but well graded and the graders are out daily along with water trucks. If it is raining it gets muddy, if it is not raining it is dry and really dusty.( Take along a vacuum cleaner type of dusty,we had to buy one.)
This summer the new road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk should be open, so you will be able to drive all the way to the Arctic Ocean.
After we finished the Dempster drive, I said that we could drive it every day for a year and see something new and different on every trip, and my wife agreed!
We also did the Dalton, the easy way, on a tour coach from Fairbanks. Left early 6 A.M., got back 11:30 P.M. All we did was look out the windows and take pictures, a very welcome change to driving. We had planned 4 days to do this if we drove, 2 days up and 2 back, so we had an extra 3 days to explore.
I never had to use 4wd on any of the roads we travelled, either to the North or to Newfoundland.
