Tombstone Territorial Park

Thirty minutes before from Dawson City, the Klondike Highway meets the Dempster. This particular highway is known to test a vehicle’s capacities. Local tip; consider investing in a windshield insurance and know how to patch and change a flat tire - of course, bring said repair kit (yes, the thing that looks like beef jerky) and spare tire(s). The Dempster ends in Tuktoyaktuk, at the foot of the Arctic Ocean, in the Northwest Territories, but at its very beginning, it crosses Tombstone Territorial Park.

Tombstone - Having spent only a day and half in the park, I want to come back for an extended time. Camp in this isolated world and go see the cragged peaks of which we catch glimpses from the road. The land must be beautiful when she wears her autumn palette. We are a few weeks too early to really see these colors.
