The Tombstone Mountains present an incredible and important landscape whose granite pinnacles have been shaped by wind, water, and glaciers into hornes, aretes and sheer rock walls. Sub-arctic tundra, boreal forest and alpine tundra all interweave creating a remarkably diverse and productive eco-system.

At the northern edge of the Tombstone Range is Berengia, an area that escaped the glacial scarring of the last ice age.

Our adventure into the Tombstone Mountains begins with a helicopter flight into the heart of the region. Our hike out will pass through an imposing landscape of hanging valleys, morraine lakes, and spectacular Tombstone vistas.

After hiking our way out of the Tombstone Mountains, along the North Klondike Valley, we will rendezvous with our van. We will drive on to Dawson City, restored to its glory goldrush days. We will take a tour of the goldfields, drive to the Dome and an exceptional view of Dawson and surrounding regions, and enjoy an evening of festivity at Diamond Tooth Gertie's.

    "While I have only used one other outdoor company, REI, to Peru last year, I check around from time to time and can say with confidence STS is an excellent bargain. The spirit in which the adventures are handled are a cut above."

    "Hi Len - I just want to thank your team for the amazing trip I had on the Bowron Lakes August 07. Georgia and Victor our guides were incredible. Throughout they maintained a professional approach to the trip working long and hard every day to ensure all of us had everything we needed. I travelled alone and made friends and had a great time much assisted by Georgia and Victor. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. They were first up and last to retire every evening. From their wilderness craft, to their encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area and its flora and fauna. The ensured that every day was a joy and the food was outstanding and there was always plenty to eat. I'm still not convinced that there wasn't someone in the forest releasing wildlife on cue as the seemed to know what was round the corner on a regular basis. As for the scenery. I live in Ireland and have travelled extensively throughout the world, so I have seen my share of beautiful scenery. I can honestly say that waking up each morning knowing that I would be spending another day in such beautiful serene and peaceful surroundings was an amazing experience. I believe the only word I can use to describe it (I'm aware it is much over used) is awesome. I would highly recommend your company and the Bowron Lake trip to anyone who is considering this type of holiday. Thank you for what turned out to be the most fulfilling trip I have ever enjoyed."

    "Let me start by making sure that our collective appreciation of your trip and your guides to the Johnston Strait this last week gets official. Simply put, for my part just about every expectation was not only met but well exceeded. Thanks for that!"

Itinerary

Day 0:  Arrival in Whitehorse.

Day 1:  We will leave Whitehorse and drive the scenic Klondike Highway to the Dempster Highway and make camp at the Tombstone Territorial Campground.

Day 2: We will take a flight through the Ogilvie Mountains and put down near Mt. Tombstone. The helicopter will then fly over to the Tombstone campground and fly the remaining members of the group into our camp. The flight is one of many highlights during our trip.

Days 3-5: Group ability and weather will determine our itinerary over the next 3 days. Our route will follow the impressive Tombstone Range, along the Tombstone River, past Talus Lake, Divide Lake, over Glissade Pass and into Grizzly Lake. Autumn clours, the incredible presence of Mt. Monolith, scores of hanging valleys and mountain tarns will serve as backdrop to our hike.

Days 6 & 7: We will make our way to our rendezvous with our van on the Dempster Highway. From here, we will head into Dawson City. Along the way we will drive up to the Dome with its superb views of Dawson City and the region around.
