Your Input Wanted: What do you think about how Tombstone Territorial Park is being managed? Tell the Park Management Committee what you think at one of the upcoming public meetings or online by April 7, 2013 at www.tombstonepark.ca.
Tombstone Territorial Park covers an area of 2,200 square kms north of Dawson City.
The Dempster Highway bisects the Park and provides an opportunity to view stunning arctic tundra landscapes and wildlife, and access to hiking areas. The Park includes a concentration of wide ecological niches, which has resulted in a diverse collection of flora and fauna, uncommon at this latitude.
Stay Safe
Tombstone Park is a remote park with few established trails. Even for day hikes, prepare for rough terrain and drastic weather changes.
We strongly advise you to leave a trip plan with a reliable friend or the RCMP before traveling into the Tombstone Park area. Include your planned routes, expected date of return, and when the authorities should be notified if you don't arrive home.
You are responsible for your own safety. Yukon Parks staff do not have the capacity or responsibility for initiating search and rescue.
