Epic Road Trip - Fall Colours on the Dempster!
This is an Overlanding adventure from Calgary (or wherever you will be at the time) to the Dempster Highway. Fall colours on the tundra is a photographer's dream. This slow paced adventure is to experience this magical place where the orange, red and yellow colours dance right before your eyes in this vast place.

The entire event will take place over 3 weeks (maybe 4), and will be filled with adventure at every corner (camping, hikes, exploring small northern towns, etc.). The drive will start in Calgary on August 15, 2025 and end on or about August 31, 2025 (pls ignore the posted calendar date). We will be chasing the beautiful fall colours.

Should you wish to join me, you will need to be prepared for travel on the Dempster Highway (proper tires, extra gas, etc.). I will be using a roof top tent. Campers, trailers, RVs, etc., are welcome.

There are plenty of videos, blogs and articles on this highway that you can watch/read. if you have questions, please reach out.

This road trip will be a slow pace/photography adventure on the Dempster Highway to catch the beautiful fall colours, and take in the scenery. Dress for the weather as well, and ensure your vehicle is in good working order. Delays, detours, etc., are expected.

Alternatively, if the Dempster Highway is closed, we will head to Dawson City and experience what was once a bustling 'gold rush' era.
