Tombstone Mountain

Noah Von Dauber

It was one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been in all of my travels. The rugged terrain and abundance of wildlife here is just amazing for photography. it's like something you'd see in Iceland. Tombstone is also probably the most accessible place to see Arctic Tundra in the world since the Dempster Highway conveniently cuts right through the park. It was well worth the short 5-hour drive from Whitehorse and every day of driving before that. I will certainly be back to revisit some day in order to take on the 14-mile trek to Grizzly Lake and Mount Monolith after all of the amazing things I've heard about that. And quite ironically, there were indeed two moose in Two Moose Lake.

great spot, a few issues with hiking permits. they want you to use a "bear barrel" for food, its the size of a small keg, heavy and doesnt fit in most backpacks. you must buy your own, they have none to borrow or rent. they are not cheap. the nearest place to buy/rent one is dawson city over a 5 hour round trip away. be aware that even though you have to register and check in and out..., they will not initiate a search if you go missing and fail to show up. most of the scenic points are off trail and serious trekking to reach. walking on tundra is like walking on a 12 inch thick memory foam mattress and exhusting. rolling an ankle is a serious hazard.

Amazing experience! The trail into Mount Monolith was a soul-searching experience. A well maintained trail through the tundra with great tent pads, near gorgeous lakes. Glacade pass was a struggle to get up however, not impossible. It's worth the planning and back country reservations. Post backpack, we took a rip up the Demoster to visit the interpretive center. The staff were knowledgeable and the facilities were clean.

Did a winter day trip to Tombstone from Dawson with the Klondike Experience. The drive was reasonable, only ~1.5h and the road conditions were actually quite good. It's quite amazing to be driving along the Dempster Highway itself while learning about its history. The park is absolutely stunning and otherworldly...I felt really lucky to be able to see such scenery. We drove across the continental divide and the furthest we got to was Two Moose Lake, before turning back. It was amazing to see two distinct types of scenery: boreal forest and tall mountains vs. tundra landscapes. The tundra part felt straight out of a Lawren Harris painting...We also saw a moose crossing the road. Definitely an underrated destination in Canada and a place that makes me appreciate life even more.

One of the most beautiful parks visited. It's a bit low on service and heavily trafficked. Could not land a camping spot with booking. Serene mountains all around. The camping area has trails which display the different fauna of the region in walk of few km's. The hike to grizzly lake view point is stunningly beautiful. The views are just spectacular.
