what to expect

Tombstone Territorial Park's 2,200 square kilometres protect a unique wilderness of rugged peaks, permafrost landforms and abundant wildlife, all reflected in a rich First Nations culture. The area's Hän name Ddhäl Ch'èl Cha Nän means "ragged mountain land." The park is a legacy of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Land Claim Agreement and lies within their Traditional Territory.

The park features three designated backcountry campgrounds—Grizzly, Divide, and Talus Lakes. Facilities include outhouses, grey water disposal, food caches, tent pads, and cook shelters. Reservations are mandatory, and permits must be carried at all times.
