Tombstone Mountains - Yukon (Map)

The jagged pinnacles of the Tombstone Mountains stand out in the stark landscape of sub-arctic/alpine tundra and boreal forest that surround them. The area is unique as it stands on the edge of an expanse of land called Berengia.

Berengia was untouched by the last great glacial ice age that covered most of North America. The landscape resembles that of a time when a land bridge existed between Asia and North America.

A helicopter flight over the many natural Tombstone wonders offers a dramatic introduction to the hiking that will follow.

Once our hike is concluded we will drive to Dawson City for some R&R in this centre of the 1898 Klondike Goldrush.
