Tombstone Territorial Park is a territorial park in Yukon, Canada. It is located in central Yukon, near the southern end of the Dempster Highway, in an area of rolling tundra. The parks protects over 2100 square kilometres including a section of the Blackstone Uplands and Ogilvie Mountains.[1] The park is named for Tombstone Mountain's resemblance to a grave marker. Mt. Tombstone was first climbed by Martyn Williams, Jurg Hofer and Liz Hofer on June 21st 1973. [2] It was made a park in 2000. [3] The Park provides numerous hiking and camping opportunities, including car camping sites near the interpretive center and 3 designated back country campgrounds at Grizzly, Divide, and Talus lakes. Notable features are Mount Monolith, Tombstone Mountain, and Glissade Pass.
