A bit of the Dempster Highway

Question

Most people who drive up the Dempster Highway only go as far as the Tombstone Range viewpoint at Km 74, not realizing that the best part of the highway starts just a few miles beyond that. Last week we camped for 2 nights at Tombstone, then took the toad up to Chapman Lake, only 40 km (25 miles further). I've posted 28 photos of the day on my blog.

very nice, thanks! DH and his brother made a motorcycle trip up to Inuvik about 30 years ago and loved every bit of it.

Wonderful pictures! We will add Tombstone to our list of campgrounds we definitely need to stay in.

Thanks for sharing your photos; they brought back some great memories. We have stayed at Tombstone C.G. 2X - pleasant place to overnight and on first occasion change a flat!

The highway looked in good condition.

Wish we could join you but it is such a long drive from Southern Ontario!
