This is camp #3 in the Tombstone Hiking Circuit, the furtherest camp you will reach. The hike from Divide Lake to Talus Lake is the easiest flattest part the Tombstone hike circuit, so your legs will thank you today. You can also helicopter into this camp and hike out.

From Divide Lake - Talus Lake Total Distance: 6 km Return Time: 2.5 hours Elevation Gain: 133 m

This camp in my opinion is the crown jewel of the Tombstones. Vertical cliff face views right from your tent and sweeping views of the Tombstone mountains down the valley. The feeling of being in this landscape is truly magical. I suggest staying here for 1-2 nights or longer if you can. There are side hikes you can explore from here. Weather tends to be very unpredicatable and constantly changing.

-Permits are required + checking in before you start your hike, instructions here- https://yukon.goingtocamp.com/TombstoneTerritorialPark -Bear cannister + bearspray is required -Must camp on tent pads -Season - End of June to Early September (end of August for peak fall colors) -Stay ON trails! The tundra is extremely delicate and stepping of the trails with damage the ground. Since this is such a high traffic area it's really important that you stay on trails to preserve the area for future generations to come -Cook shelter and outhouse at each camp -No cell service
