Backcountry Trekking in Tombstone Park Trip Itinerary:

Day 1 – Arrival in Dawson City

After hotel check-in, your guide meets you and gives you your pre-trip briefing.  The rest of the evening is up to you – experience some of Dawson City’s nightlife or rest up for tomorrow’s adventure!

Day 2 – Dawson City to Grizzly Lake

Here we go!  This morning we depart Dawson City by van and head out to Tombstone Territorial Park.  Today, we hike the Grizzly Creek trail where you experience an elevation gain of 800 meters and a tough six to eight-hour day of hiking.  Not exactly a “walk in the park”, as it were!  After a day of talus slopes, rocky ridges, and unparalleled scenery, we set up camp at Grizzly Lake. 

Day 3 – Grizzly Lake to Divide/Talus Lakes   

Today, we tear down our camp at Grizzly Lake and set off for Divide Lake.  After a challenging early morning up a steep talus slope, the terrain gradually flattens out as we approach Divide Lake.  Here, we set up camp and enjoy lunch. After lunch, it’s up to you! Talus Lake is only an additional two hours away, or perhaps you’d prefer to rest your legs and explore closer to camp. 

Day 4 – Divide Lake to Grizzly Lake

After a leisurely morning at Divide, we depart for Grizzly aiming to arrive in the mid-afternoon. Once again, there a number of short side trips you can take on from Grizzly or you may choose to take it easy at home base for the rest of the day. 

Day 5 – Grizzly Lake to Dawson City

After breaking camp this morning we head back towards the Dempster Highway, this time following the South ridge.  You’re transported back to Dawson City by van in time to check into your cozy hotel room and get freshened up. This evening you’re reunited with your guide for dinner and an evening of entertainment at Diamond Tooth Gertie’s Gambling Hall. 

Day 6 – Unlimited Touring in Dawson City

Today is entirely up to you. Join us for a historic driving tour of Dawson City and the Gold Fields  to learn about the world-famous Gold Rush of 1898.  Take a mountain bike to enjoy some leisurely exploring around town, or for something more exciting, arrange a trail head drop-off with us for a downhill adventure. Take an evening van trip up to the top of the Midnight Dome for breathtaking views of Dawson City and the Yukon River valley. You can easily do all of the above in a day, or, for the laid back traveler, you may just choose to walk up and down the streets of Dawson to explore our cafes and shops. 

Day 7 – Dawson City to Whitehorse

Today includes a late morning shuttle to the Dawson City Airport. Hard to believe a week has flown by already!  We’ll miss you… what’s next on the bucket list?
