'''Dempster Highway''' (also known as '''Yukon Highway 5''' or '''Northwest Territories Highway 8''') is a highway that connects the [[Klondike Highway]] in the Yukon Territory of [[Canada]] to [[Inuvik]], Northwest Territories on the Mackenzie River delta. During the winter months, the highway extends another 194 km (121 mi) to [[Tuktoyaktuk]], on the northern coast of Canada, using frozen portions of the Mackenzie River delta as an [[ice road]]. The highway crosses the Peel River and the Mackenzie Rivers using a combination of seasonal ferry service and ice bridges.
==Hitchhiking on Dempster==
Dempster Highway is around a 750 km ride with just two major stops in between - Eagle Plains and [[Fort McPherson]]. Most rides are going all the way to either Inuvik or [[Fort McPherson]]. Many people also just head to Tombstone National Park or Eagle plains. Either way, there are hardly any chances you will be left in the middle of nowhere. It's almost a 750 km ride with just two major stops in between. Just ask around where ever you are, and Dempster should be an easy path to hitchhike.
