Tombstone Territorial Park

Jagged black granite peaks and golden tundra reached off the Dempster Highway — "the Patagonia of the North."

Reached off the Dempster Highway, Tombstone is a landscape of jagged black-granite spires, permafrost, and tundra that blazes gold and red in late August — earning it the nickname “the Patagonia of the North.”

It’s the scenic heart of the Dempster detour and a preview of the kind of raw northern country the trip is built for.
