Game Drive Walls


Up on the tundra are remnants from an earlier era when the herds were hunted. In order to direct the animals towards the hidden hunters, game drive walls were built. An easy hike up on Tombstone Ridge brought us to these walls, but they are scattered all over the tundra if you keep your eyes open. Look for a string of somewhat parallel rocks.

The tundra was windy and cold, although the sky was still blue. How long until the first snows cover the land above the trees?
