Tombstone Territorial Park

To the east of Dawson City, in the Yukon Territory, lies Tombstone Territorial Park with its wide valleys, steep ridges, small glaciers and alpine lakes making it an ideal area for walking and simply taking in the scenery and natural quiet.

Memorable for its black granite peaks, idyllic alpine lakes and subarctic tundra landscapes, Tombstone Territorial Park is an icon among Yukon destinations. The Dempster Highway runs north through Tombstone, making wildlife, birds and tundra walks accessible to even roadside explorers. An enduring image of Tombstone Territorial Park is the explosion of colour which erupts in late summer when entire tundra valleys metamorphose to become a living palette of crimson, orange and gold. From the Tombstone Viewpoint overlooking the North Klondike River valley, the jagged peaks of the Tombstone mountain range dominate the landscape. Beyond North Fork Pass is Blackstone Uplands, where wildlife sightings are frequent and birding opportunities abound.
