Once you crossed the border into N.W.T. there was a real sense of 'north' in the landscape. Wonderful! I've driven Edmonton to Whitehorse, Yukon about twenty times over the years. Back in the 1970's it was 900 miles of gravel from Fort St. John to Whitehorse, a long haul but always an adventure. Nothing like the north country! Cheers!
I lived in Yellowknife 32 years ago. It has changed a lot. Made the drive from Yellowknife through Edmonton and on to Lloydminster many times. Back then the road was gravel once you hit the territory border. Driving the road in the summer was a unpleasant experience due to the dust and the massive muskeg soft spots. In the winter it was an easier drive at least on the gravel. Yes I drove from Yellowknife to Lloydminster in 24 hours.. I stopped and slept for three hours in High Level at a hotel. Never hit any animals while living there
Hi! I’m really glad I found your video! I’m planning a trip up there this summer along the same route as you both have. This is super helpful. I’m going to tune into some of your other videos for tips. 😊
I've wanted to drive to Yellowknife, but didn't know how the roads would be. Very well done, doesn't look too bad as long as your car doesn't break down. Probably very expensive to get a tow truck.
very nice video,,,, MAckenzie river----- as you mentioned is the big river just behind---missisippi ,, very nice,, Learn something from watching,,,, have yet got a chance to touch the water of it,,,, love to one day,,,
Thanks for the video. We are planning to go to Yellowknife and it helped us know the better route to go in order to have cell service. We were wondering what the best insect repellent and bug jackets would be to consider. Thanks. Brett and Marie
I love your video. I am some kind of map enthusiast and I see small towns up north Yellowknife in NT like Edzo, Whati, Gameto, Wekweeti from Google Earth, I wonder what people do there for a living, it's so far north and cold.
Love your choice of music in this video! Love all your videos, actually! Please make more!

Hello from Florida, I definitely want to visit that area sometime.

Keep the vids coming, enjoying them.
I appreciate you pointing out the differences in routes to high level. I have been considering the drive and will now choose the peace river route.
Thinking about doing the drive this September thanks for the video.
8:02 Oh, yes! That's the power
I'll be riding on a motorcycle next summer from Calgary
