Nature
Tombstone Mountain is a remote 2,192-metre peak in Yukon’s Ogilvie Mountains, within Tombstone Territorial Park, known for its dramatic rise from the Tombstone River Valley and its resemblance to a grave marker. The fourth-highest mountain in the range, it stands out for climbing 1,090 metres above the river in less than two kilometres. The summit was first reached on June 21, 1973, by Martyn Williams, Jürg Hofer, and Liz Hofer, and its name was officially adopted in 1981. In a subarctic climate, the mountain endures long, intensely cold winters and short, mild summers, with extreme winter temperatures reflecting the harshness of the Yukon landscape.
