Grizzly Ridge Viewpoint

Hiking

This trail is perfect for spotting the famous mountains of Tombstone Territorial Park. Indeed, in less than an hour, you can admire Mount Monolith at the bottom of the Grizzly Valley. You can then continue towards Grizzly Lake for as long as you wish. Be careful, if you do not have a backcountry camping permit, remember to turn back at some point.

You can easily reach the trail at the end of the parking lot, in the middle of the trees. The trail is very well marked (by Yukon standards) and you will find a voluntary registration box for hikers shortly after entering the forest. As you advance, the trail begins to climb and the trees become smaller and sparser as you enter subalpine territory.

Just before climbing the ridge, you will arrive at a small clearing, from where you can observe the famous Mount Monolith, to the west. Here, you can continue on the trail to enjoy the wonderful mountains even more and perhaps encounter a caribou, or you can turn back and begin the descent to return to the parking lot.

Cairnes Creek Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

This wooden bridge allows you to cross the waters of Cairnes Creek. The river can be turbulent during the rainy season, so don't hesitate to hold onto the railing. Otherwise, when it's calm, stop in the middle of the footbridge, admire, take a deep breath and enjoy the view.

View of Grizzly Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

You are still far from it and yet you can already observe Grizzly Lake, whose waters stretch peacefully at the foot of Mount Monolith. Or is it the shadow of a cloud? This viewpoint offers superb plays of light that are sometimes confusing, but I assure you the lake is indeed there, in the distance.
