The Ogilvie Mountains are a mountain range in the Yukon Territory that lie north of Dawson City and are crossed by the Dempster Highway. The main mountains are part of the Tombstone Territorial Park [1].
The highest mountain within the range is Mount Frank Rae at 2,362 m (7,749 ft). The most familiar mountains with their jagged granite peaks are Tombstone Mountain and Mount Monolith.[2]
The area was first surveyed by William Ogilvie (surveyor) and the range subsequently named after him.
