It was one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been in all of my travels. The rugged terrain and abundance of wildlife here is just amazing for photography. it's like something you'd see in Iceland. Tombstone is also probably the most accessible place to see Arctic Tundra in the world since the Dempster Highway conveniently cuts right through the park. It was well worth the short 5-hour drive from Whitehorse and every day of driving before that. I will certainly be back to revisit some day in order to take on the 14-mile trek to Grizzly Lake and Mount Monolith after all of the amazing things I've heard about that. And quite ironically, there were indeed two moose in Two Moose Lake.

One of the most beautiful parks visited. It's a bit low on service and heavily trafficked. Could not land a camping spot with booking. Serene mountains all around. The camping area has trails which display the different fauna of the region in walk of few km's. The hike to grizzly lake view point is stunningly beautiful. The views are just spectacular.

Amazing experience! The trail into Mount Monolith was a soul-searching experience. A well maintained trail through the tundra with great tent pads, near gorgeous lakes. Glacade pass was a struggle to get up however, not impossible. It's worth the planning and back country reservations. Post backpack, we took a rip up the Demoster to visit the interpretive center. The staff were knowledgeable and the facilities were clean.

Did a winter day trip to Tombstone from Dawson with the Klondike Experience. The drive was reasonable, only ~1.5h and the road conditions were actually quite good. It's quite amazing to be driving along the Dempster Highway itself while learning about its history. The park is absolutely stunning and otherworldly...I felt really lucky to be able to see such scenery. We drove across the continental divide and the furthest we got to was Two Moose Lake, before turning back. It was amazing to see two distinct types of scenery: boreal forest and tall mountains vs. tundra landscapes. The tundra part felt straight out of a Lawren Harris painting...We also saw a moose crossing the road. Definitely an underrated destination in Canada and a place that makes me appreciate life even more.

great spot, a few issues with hiking permits. they want you to use a "bear barrel" for food, its the size of a small keg, heavy and doesnt fit in most backpacks. you must buy your own, they have none to borrow or rent. they are not cheap. the nearest place to buy/rent one is dawson city over a 5 hour round trip away. be aware that even though you have to register and check in and out..., they will not initiate a search if you go missing and fail to show up. most of the scenic points are off trail and serious trekking to reach. walking on tundra is like walking on a 12 inch thick memory foam mattress and exhusting. rolling an ankle is a serious hazard.

My wife and I hired a pilot and helicopter to take us to the Tombstone Territorial Park for our wedding anniversary last summer. We flew out of Dawson City and went with a company called Trans North. Our pilot Nathan was exceptional. He ensured I safely and comfortably was able to maneuver myself into the helicopter, and ensured I didn’t feel rushed while walking to Talus lake from the heli. Nathan gladly offered to take photos and took time to describe the area to us. The Tombstone mountain and surrounding area was quite surreal to be there. The day we went was picture perfect, no one else was there, and it was calm, peaceful and beautiful. For any Yukoner or person visiting the Yukon, This experience should definitely be on your life time bucket list. The helicopter option is great if you don’t want to worry about camping, bears and bugs, it also gives you another amazing perspective of this gorgeous area!

Best remote park I have visited, we went early September, where it is chillier but not that crowded. Nice hikes and breathtaking views all around. Good service at the interpretive center.

The best national park I've ever seen as far as mountainous terrain goes. The isolation is warmly intimidating and the views set to stunning! The moose are huge here!
