 Come and join us in the rugged Tombstone Mountains. We’ll
enjoy superb hiking in the true wilderness of the Yukon. Wildlife
viewing, birding, plant identification and some truly huge mountains
give this trip a five star rating! This is a naturalist’s
paradise!
Day 1
We’ll meet at 9am and do a last minute gear check before
heading out. This scenic 6 hour drive takes us thru some of the
most beautiful terrain in the Yukon. As we close in on our destination,
you’ll begin to appreciate the journey we are about to embark
on. Our first night will be spent in the Tombstone campground,
and we’ll head out into the true backcountry the next morning.
Days 2-5
These next 4 days will be spent exploring the spectacular beauty
of the majestic mountains. Mount Monolith rises from the ground
like a pillar, while creeks and streams are filled with the
clear, pure water. We’ll can enjoy many lakeside campsites,
or since we are not tied down to rigid schedules, we could
also set up a
base camp and spend some time on day hikes with lighter loads!
Bring lots of film for this area is pristine and is definitely
worth the many photo opportunities.
Day 6
After a leisurely breakfast, we’ll make our way back out
to the campground, and head into the historical Dawson City.
We’ll “check
in” for some showers and soft beds before heading out
to take in the museum, Can Can dancers even some old fashioned
gambling
at Diamond Tooth Gerties.
Day 7
Any last minute sightseeing or shopping can be done before
heading back to Whitehorse. This 5 hour drive will give
you a chance
to reflect on the wilderness you have just experienced.
We’ll
arrive back in Whitehorse in time for a complimentary pass to the
Whitehorse Lions Aquatic Center. This wonderful “pool with
a view” facility is complete with a slide, a lazy
river and even a 25 person hot tub. This is a nice relaxing
way to end your
journey.
