The Tombstone Territorial Park Guide

The Patagonia of the North — jagged peaks, tundra, and the Dempster Highway

Tombstone Territorial Park is one of the most visually striking landscapes in Canada. The jagged granite peaks of the Tombstone Range rise from tundra valleys along the first 100 kilometres of the Dempster Highway, creating a scene so dramatic that people who see it for the first time often reach for their cameras before the car has stopped. This guide covers the park from the interpretive centre at kilometre 72 to the backcountry routes that take you deep into the granite cirques.
