I've been pondering that trip as well but I think I'd rather go late August/early September. Been spending a month or two in the AK interior almost every year for the last 30 years. Did the haul road once but never made it up the Dempster. Was in Dawson City the year of the road anniversay (25 years I think) but didn't have time to detour to Inuvik. Have several friends that did the Dempster but always late summer, never mid summer.

Next summer we are taking our rig up to Tuktoyaktuk NWT on the new Hwy that will join Tuk to Inuvik and the rest of the world.
When the Dempster Hwy (Yukon Highway 5 and Northwest Territories Highway 8) with the added 120 km ( 75 miles ) of road between Inuvik and Tuk are completely finished this fall it will be "about" 860km ( 535 miles) of gravel road, ...Yeehaw....
From where I live in BC that's about 4000km one way ( 2485 miles)
Hwy to Tuktoyaktuk NWT
