The most EPIC place to ride a motorcycle in Canada - Experience the Arctic by the Dempster Highway!

No safe hotels or camper rigs for us - We motorcycle camp under the stars the entire way! There is WAYYYY too much amazingness in this part of Canada to cram into one video, so this will be a three part video. I hope you enjoy!
This is the moment we have been waiting for! We have finally reached the point in our journey where the road turns to gravel - we made it to the Dempster Highway in Yukon, Canada!
In this episode, we ride our motorcycles into the amazing and unique Dawson City, Yukon for a quick bite, to explore, and stock up on last minute supplies. After that, we then start the final leg of our journey to the Arctic Ocean.
The landscapes change frequently, and there is no shortage of breathtaking views from the winding gravel roads that go in and through the mountains.

My best friend and I did the Dempster 30 years ago. I was riding my 91' Harley FXRP police special and my friend on his 1981 BMW 800 GS. We left Iowa on June 27th and took our photos at the Artic circle sign on July 4th.Your video brings back many memories from that trip. Especially the mosquitos. Lol Planning a month-long trip to Labrador/Newfound land this summer. Great job on the video and camping gear tips. Sadly, my friend passed away in 2020.😢😢

I definitely highly recommend it! I also recommend doing it around late fall… Late August “ish”. It’s a bit risky because I’m told it’s starting to get toward rainy season, but there are no mosquitoes and if when the sun is out the colours just pop!

Yes I’m most likely the first with a Duke 😂 (some might say a bit crazy!) Believe it or not, it actually drove quite nice for the most of it. Just couldn’t go as fast on the really rough areas with deep potholes (having a sport suspension and all) Thanks for the comment! 🙂✌️

You were fortunate that the road was dry. A lot of this road has a clay base and when it gets wet it is a skating rink.

No mention of mosquitoes. Hardly seems like the Dempster! It is a remarkable ride though.. in any season.

@pavechaser Жыл бұрын

We camped the entire way with tents/hammocks - Mosquitoes or bugs were never an issue - in fact I don’t think there were any at all! I suspect it is a “time of year” situation as we were there in their late fall.

Non stop challenges - risks of dropping the bike with no mechanic shop or hospital anywhere, grizzlies walking out in front of you, sunny one moment and then snowing the next… I wouldn’t use the word boring - Most videos make it look easy :)
