Tombstone Territorial Park

Tombstone Territorial Park in central Yukon protects more than 2,100 square kilometres of mountain, tundra, and permafrost landscape along the Dempster Highway. Named for Tombstone Mountain, it is renowned for dramatic scenery, unusual geology, and the continental divide between waters flowing toward the Yukon and Mackenzie systems. Glaciation carved its sharp peaks while nearby areas remained part of unglaciated Beringia, creating striking contrasts in landforms. The park also preserves habitat for Dall’s sheep, caribou, moose, black bears, grizzly bears, and about 150 bird species. Created in 2000 through the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin land settlement agreement, it is jointly administered to protect its natural and cultural values.
