Artic Circle and Northwest Territories

 Saturday, July 9, Dempster Highway, Gwich'in and Inuvialuit lands


Dr Suess looking trees left after fires


Ugh! Saw lots of folks biking these steep roads, some supported, many not



Beautiful succulent like plants








Mama grizzly and her two yearling cubs







First of 2 ferry crossings

Gas station/convenience store
Approach to second ferry



Ice on the shore at 2nd ferry crossing


Town of Tsiigehtchic

Tithe geh Chii vitaii Teritorrial Overlook hike


Lichen that the caribou love to eat











Stone in the path and how I felt after 2 miles up and down hill




Back on the road passed this prettily attired beaver abode


Inuvik



Catholic Church



Inuksuk - used by First Nations people on the flat coasts as a landmark, some pointed which way to go, others may have had a center gap to look through to see a settlement ahead


Welcome center and town activity center


End of a long day


Spent the night at the Inuvik city park. while it was too overcast to see the sun ...
