Nature
Mount Monolith is a 2,165-metre peak in Yukon’s Ogilvie Mountains within Tombstone Territorial Park, northeast of Dawson. The range’s sixth-highest mountain, it is notable for its dramatic local relief: the summit rises 725 metres above the Tombstone River in less than two kilometres, creating a strikingly abrupt profile over the valley. Its runoff flows into the Tombstone River and the North Klondike River, part of the Yukon River watershed. The mountain stands in a subarctic climate with long, intensely cold winters and short, mild summers. Its name was officially adopted by the Geographical Names Board of Canada on July 30, 1968.
