Description

Surfbird Mountain is a beautiful hike through the tundra in the Blackstone Range, which is in the far northern reaches of Tombstone Territorial Park.

The primary route heads up through the tundra to a pass in the mountain ridge.

Once there, you can head further up and along the ridge to reach an elevated viewpoint with impressive views of the Blackstone Range. On your way back, you can either follow the same path you originally climbed, or you can turn this hike into a narrow loop, as shown here. While the trailhead for Surfbird Mountain isn't far off of the Dempster Highway, this area of the world is extremely remote and rugged.

Be prepared to be entirely self-sufficient on your hike, and follow all bear safety practices. Sources: https://www.yukonhiking.ca/surfbird.html https://www.livesmallridefree.com/blog/surfbird-ridge-tombstone-territorial-park-yukon https://www.adventuresoflupe.com/?p=15211
