Super excited to see this guy :) he was quite chill. Let me hang out for a few mins
This guy was super cool!! Let me hang out on the side of the road with him for 5 mins
My last post regarding prices in Ulu got a lot of traction, thought I would show you guys what it’s like in Inuvik. $350 for 22 items. One of those items is a bag of dog food which cost $100, so really it’s more like $250 for 21 items.
We usually do a “bigger” haul like this once a week and then stop in at the grocery store another time or two for a smaller list. Between me and my partner, we spend around $1500 a month on groceries.
Goes to show how much more people in remote areas have to pay for essentials like groceries
Edit: Guys, I know pop is not essential. But let’s put our thinking caps on and extrapolate what this example means to the rest of the groceries that people have to buy up here and how much they could possibly cost.
My partner got sent to this small Arctic Ocean community for work and sent me these photos
Got posted here for work, hope you enjoy the pics!
caught early this morning after a thunderstorm.
I took these photos, Nikon d7000.
Inuvik, NWT. It’s been a wild ride!
Taking two weeks to drive this route, starting in Whitehorse -> Haines Junction -> Haines, AK -> Skagway -> back to Whitehorse.
Planning for first two weeks of September. We know to expect some rain, but hoping for some good weather days for hikes and whatnot.
Would love to hear your experience and recs!
Taken January 2027. First time I’ve seen this happen!
Basically what the title says! I’ve scoped out some local attractions and hikes to do for the few days we are there, but just wondering what to expect for weather for first two weeks of September.
Will the fall foliage be in full swing around this time? Should we expect a lot of rain?
For attractions we’re planning:
- chilkoot and chilkat
- lower Reid’s falls
- gold rush cemetery
- the mt Ripinsky trail
If anyone has any food recommendations also, feel free to post them below!
Thanks in advance
