Waiting for a tire repair, Fort McPherson, YT. The northern section of the Dempster Highway in the Yukon was built on crushed shale to raise it up from and insulate the perma frost. Pieces of this shale are notarious for puncturing tires. A tire repair awaits at each end of the worst 150 mile (230 km) section. The Dempster Highway runs nearly 500 miles (800 km) unpaved from the Klondike Highway near Dawson to Inuvik.
