Located a few kilometers outside of Inuvik and over looking a small lake, Arctic Chalet Resort has several accommodation option to choose from including the guest house and cabins. Although the cabins are all historic and are some of the first building built in Inuvik, they have all been renovated and are quite comfortable. Arctic Chalet Resort is famous for their dog sledding and their white huskies.

Wilderness dog sledding in the Northwest Territories is spectacular. I was amazed at how quiet and fast it was. The dogs are brilliant and well trained. They know exactly what to do and love to run. This is an adventure that should be on every adventure seeker's bucket list.

Inuvik is in Canada's far north. In the winter they experience 30 days without sunlight from December to January. In the summer they have 54 days with 24-hour daylight from June to early August. In November, when I was there the days are starting to get very short. This sunrise picture was taken at 10:33am.

By early November when I visited Inuvik, sunset is at 3:30pm. IN only a few more weeks, Inuvik will experience 30 days without the sun breaking the horizon. There will still be about 4-5 hours light. However, after 30 days of this, the Town of Inuvik holds a big festival for the Sunrise party. This festival is celebrated on the first day that the sun peaks over the horizon in early January. The sun will rise mid-afternoon and will only break the horizon less than 30 minutes before it sets again.

At only 152km south of the Arctic ocean, those northern winds don't have much of an opprotunity to warm up. This makes wind chill a rather serious business. Be sure to dress very warm and to accept the use of big giant and super warm locally made mittens for your dog sledding adventure.
