Ferries, ice roads, and the end of the gravel.

The Dempster reaches its northern end at Inuvik, and the all-season Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway carries on to the Arctic Ocean.

The Peel and Mackenzie river crossings run by ferry in summer and by ice road in winter. Neither runs during freeze-up or break-up. That closure, not the weather, is the date to plan around.
