Tombstone

We stayed in Dawson for a day so we could drop off our tire for repair then made our way back up to Tombstone Territorial Park. We had every intention of staying in Tombstone for a few days and get some serious hiking done. We went for a series of short hikes and only got to go on one long hike up a mountain before having to go back to Dawson to pick up the tire. The good people at the Interpretive Centre are very friendly and enthusiastic. They ae more than willing to give you suggestions for places to hike, what to try to see and are very helpful in helping identify the plants and animals you may have seen. Below are some of the pictures from the top of the mountain, the Arctic Ground Squirrel that was hoping to share our lunch and some plants (a type of heather and Labrador Tea) from on our way back down.Read more
