Fall Beauty Along Tombstone Territorial Park's Goldensides Trail

Rock oper here won't you join me on a hike of the golden sides Trail in the yukon's tombstone territorial [Applause] [Music] Park out in the wilderness of Tombstone territorial Park in Canada where mist and clouds Slither down valleys like serpents and wrap vaporous tentacles across the mountains is an easy 2.6 mile roundtrip hike that is accessible from the Dempster Highway and offers stunning views of the surrounding area I visited in fall and that can be a magical time to visit the region although the weather is cooler and less predictable and can change quickly and forcefully at times Autumn sets the land a light in a blaze of color such as this Alpine bear [Music] Berry other plants bedazzle the eyes with their Hues of Reds yellows and orange as well plants such as Willow and dwarf Birch [Music] the golden sides Trail starts out as a road and then eventually turns into into a trail the beginning of the trail is a service road for that Tower but then it Narrows down into more of a trail be aware of bears in the [Music] area the fir weed starts to look like it's on fire as it turns turns [Music] red it's a land of striking Hills and large valleys carpeted with Tundra and stippled by trees it's a big country out here and it's the domain of big animals such as Grizzly and black bears Wolverine and lyx and farther north caribou [Music] Mist Trails like snakes through the [Music] mountains [Music] The Cranberries are getting ripe now there's a really nice ripe one you can also eat the crowberries there's about a 300 M elevation gain from the beginning of the trail to the end that's about 900 ft I'm surprised to see a flower Still In Bloom here fall is a delightful time to come up here and do this hike although the weather is a bit of a gamble you never know what you're going to get could be rain could be wind could be be clouds could be sunny could be everything in one day fall starts early here about the third week in August roughly around the 21st and may last until midt though some years winter comes early and it may only last a couple weeks so you've got to get here while it's happening the higher one goes the more expansive the views seem to become the trail eventually ends at a Viewpoint however one need not stop here in the Yukon a person can walk as far as they desire in this seemingly endless [Applause] [Music] [Applause] wilderness [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] this is where the North kondake River is the headwaters of Klondike the mountains in the distance are the reason this is called t Tombstone park because the mountains resemble Tombstone standing [Music] upright I hope you enjoyed hiking along with me on Golden side's Trail in Tombstone territorial Park in the Yukon don't forget to give me a like on the video share and subscribe till next time this is a rock oper I'll see [Music] you
