Tombstone Campground
As we depart the Tombstone Campground, light snow is falling over the Tombstone Mountains. Ahead is the headwaters of the Klondike River.
Passing the Tombstone Mountains sends us over the continental divide from the Yukon basin which drains into the Bering Sea to the Peel/Mackenzie basin which drains into the Arctic Ocean. As we travel north we follow the Peel River through the Ogilvie Mountains.
