A Ruby Range guide will meet you at the airport and you will hop on one last scenic flight to Inuvik. You will be soon transported to another world! Inuvik is the hub of the western arctic and home of the Inuvialuit, in whose language the name means 'Place of People.' You’ll make this our base as you explore the arctic coast. Once arrived, your guide will run the group through a brief orientation. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Inuvik)

Day 3: Inuvik - Eagle Plains

Today your journey begins on the legendary Dempster Highway. As far as the eye can see, the untouched tundra landscape is crossed by caribou, moose and bears. This 730 km long gravel road is the only road connection to Inuvik and people come from all around the world to drive to its end. You will leave Inuvik, drive amongst the arctic coastal tundra and pass through the indigenous communities of Fort McPherson, Tsiigehtchic (scenes of the epic story of the Northwest Mounted Police and the 'Lost Patrol'). You will cross the arctic circle and travel in the lower 65th for the rest of the journey. The final stop today is Eagle Plains. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Eagle Plains)

Day 4: Eagle Plains – Dawson City

In the morning, you will leave Eagle Plains and will make your way south to the world-famous Dawson City. It is a beautiful part of the journey as you travel through the magnificent Tombstone Territorial park. With a bit of luck, you will see the imposing dark peaks and many more scenic landscapes of the arctic tundra. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Dawson City)

This legendary boomtown was epicentre of the famous Klondike gold rush of 1898, and gold still animates the place. Immerse yourself in Dawson’s history, and try your luck panning the creeks yourself. A visit to Bonanza Creek, the Jack London cabin, the Dawson City museum, and the Midnight Dome are all on the agenda. You’ll also want to take some time to simply stroll around the town, with its garish Gold Rush architecture and friendly locals. In the evening, the lovingly restored Palace Grand Theatre offers musical entertainment, turn-of-the-century style, and can-can girls kick up their skirts for an evening of entertainment at Diamond Tooth Gertie’s Gambling Hall. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Dawson City)

Today you are leaving the gold rush city and heading south along the Klondike Highway back to Yukon’s capital; Whitehorse. Along the way, you’ll catch frequent views of the Yukon River, which, at about 3200 kilometres long, is one of the longest waterways in North America. You’ll stop at the infamous Five Finger Rapids and stretch your legs at some of the old post offices, roadhouses and villages that give the area its unique northern character. There will be time to share one last good dinner with your fellow travellers in one of the city’s restaurants. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Whitehorse)
