The Tombstone Range is a small but spiky mountain range located in the northern Yukon in Canada, almost up by the Arctic Circle. I have been dreaming of visiting and photographing these remote mountains since I first saw some photos of them almost 20 years ago. Because I’ve wanted to see these peaks for so long, and because this was the furthest point north we’d be traveling on our road trip, this trek would be both figuratively and literally the climax of our summer’s travels!
As I wrote about previously, rainy weather forced us to hang out for almost a week along the Klondike before we had decent enough weather for backpacking. But the wait was totally worth it; we enjoyed seven days of great weather, amazing sunsets, and lots of aurora activity during our trek!
W O W , Jack. I’m almost speechless. Gorgeous, gorgeous photos. Yet another part of this world I need to travel to.
What an amazing journey!
Congratulations for capturing the moment properly!
Awesome photos as always 🙂
Awesome tends to be overused, but in this case that really was awesome.
Great photos, of a beautiful area. I had never photos of Tombstone Mountain before, and part of me was thinking, “He’s messed up the aspect ratio and stretched everything vertically.”
Great pictures. Did you see any grizzlies; what were the temperatures; did the lakes have any fish?
Doggone Jack, This Yukon gallery may be your most impressive haul from an expedition yet! The aurora images are so otherworldly, joyful psychedelia, and masterfully captured. And the rest, holy shit, what mountains, tundra, lakes! Drool.
What a trip! That sunset shot with the tundra and sunstar is just sick…bravo!
What spectacular pictures (I guess it helps that you’re a professional photographer :-). I’m considering a trip to Tombstone this year and so am feeling very encouraged by your pictures. Thanks again.
Thank you! The Tombstones are very spectacular so it’s not too difficult to take spectacular photos there! 🙂
