Sept. 24th Tombstone Territorial Park

We drove the Dempster Highway all the way through Tombstone Park. The park stretches from km 51 to km 116. The trip took 2 hours because the gravel road is slow and we took many photo breaks. The park facilities are closed for the season so we ate lunch in the car. The temperature was plus 4, but the wind was strong as it whistled down the valley. After lunch we hiked up Goldensides mountain for 2 km and then back. We actually met 2 other tourists hiking the same path. That made at least 6 tourists in the 2,200 sq km park.
Peaks surround the valley

This lake is 3 km from the Continental Divide.
