Tombstone Territorial Park

Tombstone Territorial Park is a provincial park in Yukon covering 2100 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with sharp peaks and permafrost formations. The landscape supports caribou and grizzly bears and is accessed through an interpretive center near Dempster Highway plus three camping areas at Grizzly, Divide, and Talus Lakes.

Scientists identified sensitive sites in the 1970s, leading to protection measures during Dempster Highway construction. These early conservation efforts formed the foundation for the park's eventual establishment.

The park is jointly managed by territorial authorities and the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation, preserving the region's physical, biological, and archaeological character. Visitors can see how this shared stewardship shapes how the land is cared for and respected.

The interpretive center sits near Dempster Highway and offers information plus resources for backcountry travel. Visitors should check conditions and seasons before visiting, as this area is remote and exposed to harsh weather.

Mount Monolith and Tombstone Mountain stand as distinctive peaks marking a watershed divide between the Yukon River and Mackenzie River systems. This geographic meeting point makes the park notable for where two major river systems converge.
