一个现实问题是在Whitehorse似乎不能租到AWD SUV。

这一段冬天可以走：
DRIVING: It is possible to drive all the way to Tuktoyaktuk, although only during the winter months. From Southern Northwest Territories you must drive up the Dempster Highway which is a rough, but beautiful drive through vast stretches of untouched wilderness. Along this drive you may see large numbers of caribou and other northern animals. From the Dempster Highway you can drive to Inuvik which is a "large" Northern centre of about 3,500 people. To reach Tuktoyaktuk you must drive on the Ice Road, which is the frozen Mackenzie River plowed to allow for vehicles to drive on it. The drive on this ice road from Inuvik is approximately 150 kms and takes up to 3 hours. This road is subject to severe weather conditions and should not be driven without proper instructions by talking to the locals in Inuvik.

摘要一下
第一个关于北极光；
Auroras are visible year round, but best times are at the spring and fall equinoxes. I'm in Yellowknife, and weather permitting we see them frequently. Ice roads should still be running, especially that far north. Learn something new everyday, had no idea there was an Inuvik-Tuk winter road. Have a great trip!

第二个，有人这条路走过很多次：
I have driven this route many times and I think it is one of the most spectacular drives you'll ever do - especially at that time of year.
Yes, you can rent a vehicle in Whitehorse, but be prepared - it won't come cheaply. You will definately want 4WD.
A few tips:
Before driving this route I would suggest you be very comfortable with driving on ice and snow.

Check to make sure the vehicle has really good tires (like Wranglers), and a good spare.

Make sure you fill up with fuel at "The Corners" before you head up the Dempster. You'll have to stay overnight in Eagle Plains and re-fuel there (again not cheap)

You'll need a very good pair of DARK sunglasses and some very warm clothes (avoid cotton).

Make sure you have survival equipment with you eg. good sleeping bag, candles, food etc. You won't meet many other vehicles on the road, so you should be prepared to handle "problems" should they arise.

Check the road conditions before you leave "The Corners" and Eagle Plains. It is not uncommon for the road to be closed for several days at a time because of weather, so make sure you leave a few days of cushion in your planning. The section north of Eagle Plains seems to be especially bad for this.

The weather can/will be very different on the Dempster than in Whitehorse so don't let Whitehorse deceive you. I was once in Whitehorse in March and they had a bit of a warm spell. People were working outside in t-shirts. By the time I reached the section of the Dempster north of Eagle Plains, it was a full blown blizzard with high winds, blowing snow, and temperatures around -40. Wind chills had to be -50 or more. Unfortunately, we got a flat tire here (not uncommon on the Dempster) and had to put on all our warm gear to get out and change the tire.

Once in Inuvik, check that the ice road is open before heading out. Again, it can be closed if the weather in Tuk or up on the Beaufort Sea is bad.

Hope this helpful. ENJOY!!!
P.S. Both Tuk and Inuvik have spring festivals that you might want to plan to attend.

dongdongcat,
我仔细想了想，这次恐怕不能和你们同去了。主要我觉得时间有点尴尬，父母今年要过来探亲，所以需要留出些假期。如果7天之内能够结束时间上比较满意，但是这样玩起来有太仓促的感觉。
不管怎样，祝你们好运，找到什么资料继续会转过来。如果你们真的成行，回头不要忘记放些照片、游记什么的。

如果不受天气和意外的影响，整个行程8天就可以结束，另加两天只是为了保险起见。一般意义而言，驾车旅行不应超过十天，否则后期会很疲劳而且没什么兴致了，徒劳的赶路时没意义的。想知道具体的细节吗? 到茶馆儿见面再说了。

另外，基本上我们会在茶馆儿待到7点，后面就不知道了。找不到的打电话647-2967329。<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

8天的前提是到了那里一个晚上马上转身走。看极光的话恐怕要住上若干天，很可能不是每天都能看到极光。

加上Inuvik123强烈建议设计时间要多加几天：so make sure you leave a few days of cushion in your planning. 所以说10天以上的计划的很正确的。
