Hiking To The BIG View On The Grizzly Lake Trail

rock hopper here and I'm in the yukon's tombstone territorial Park and we're going to hike up the grizzly Lake Trail today to the highest point where there's apparently a magnificent View and I'm going to tell you how the park got the name [Music] Tombstone we'll be going right up to about there which is about halfway between Grizzly Lake and the trail head and the highest point between those two it's about 13 km to get to Grizzly Lake it's so 26 km round trip and you can do it in a day however if you want to stay overnight you do need a back country permit the trail starts out over roty soil through the woods and it'll gradually gain elevation quite a bit I've heard passing the colorful fir weed that's set in autumn colors the blueberry bushes are turning colors and the rain is never far away here in the fall this is spagna moss and it holds quite a bit of moisture you could even grab some of it and get enough for a drink if you needed one Autumn is a beautiful time of year to see the changing color along the trail even some of the Mosses are turning red we come to a little foot bridge and some steps what's up bud oh [Applause] after about a mile and a half the views start to open up still some patches of snow up here they'll be here all year it's Autumn and they're still here it was fairly steep for a while but now it's going to get quite [Music] steep [Music] this is the highest point on the grizzly Lake Trail it's about 4 km to get to here but I think it's worth the reward the mountains in the distance are the reason this is called Tombstone park because the mountains resemble Tombstone standing upright if you happen to be at the visitor center you might just find some fresh banic made by Miriam here and that's what it looks like and I'm going to have a piece of that and you can put fresh wild blueberry jam it was just made 2 days ago on the bandic I hope you enjoyed hiking up to the high point on the grizzly Lake Trail in the yukon's tombstone territorial Park don't forget to give me a like on the video share and subscribe until next time this is Rockhopper I'll see you [Music]
