Miles Canyon

Miles Canyon is a short drive from downtown Whitehorse and is celebrated for its striking columnar basalt walls and deep emerald-green water. The area features well-maintained trails that lead to viewpoints and a suspension bridge that gives dramatic perspectives of the canyon and river below. Visitors frequently comment on the vivid water color and accessible walking circuits that suit families and photographers.

The canyon is historically important as a river bottleneck during the Gold Rush and today combines natural beauty with interpretive panels and trails. October is quieter here, offering peaceful walks and good photo opportunities without the summer crowds.
