Brilliant blue skies and -35 celsius - what a day for a walk into the canyon. Not far from Whitehorse, easy to access and beautiful.

walking part of history -- i remember the first time i crossed the yukon river, i knew i was in THE NORTH!! like revisiting 'sgt preston of the yukon' from 50s tv!!! enjoy your time...

This can be a very enjoyable hike around a very historically difficult part of the river. It is beautiful here, peaceful and sometimes full of wild flowers.

Miles canyon is a historic part of the goldrush trip from Skagway to the Klondike Gold Fields. While much of the rapids are now underwater due to the dam it is still an impressive sight and hard to imagine a regular "joe" navigating his handmade raft down this narrow canyon.

You can park your car and walk 100m to the suspension bridge. It's pretty but, not spectacular. It is worth the stop. Porta potties were clean. That is always a plus, right?

The suspension bridge leads you over to a lovely set of trails but most important was dipping toes in the Yukon. I've been there so many times since I was a kid but it never gets old.

Take a short drive to the Miles Canyon and walk across the footbridge and along the high bluffs over the Yukon. Walk a little or a lot and if you get a nice day, enjoy the incredible color of the water.

Blue, blue, blue water. Wonderful smells, and great information. So much history in the area about the gold rush. Not crowded and an easy walk.

Great scenery with some excellent walking trails. In laws did the MV Schwatka tour up the river and thoroughly enjoyed it.
