The Dempster can be the most beautiful place in the world, and then the worst 15 minutes later.

We are thinking tail end of June into July, so hopefully the weather will be OK, and the black flies won't be to bad. I think my biggest concern is the amount of driving, but I've done plenty of long trips before. Is the gravel road north Dawson in pretty good shape? If my wife can do some of the driving on it that would help.
