Miles Canyon hiking tour from Whitehorse, Yukon

Experience the glory of the Yukon during a guided hike through its iconic Miles Canyon and immerse yourself into the history of the Whitehorse region as you learn about the Klondike Gold Rush!

As you hike, you will be able to take in the breathtaking scenery of Miles Canyon, which was sculpted by volcanic activity approximately nine million years ago. During the Yukon’s pre-glacial era, a flow of basaltic lava poured into what is now the path of the canyon's waters, located just a few kilometers from the heart of Whitehorse. With the Yukon River's bright turquoise waters twisting through rugged cliffs and lush forest on either side, Miles Canyon is truly a sight to behold as you hike alongside on a well established trail with a slight elevation gain of 40 metres!

Beautiful as it is, Miles Canyon's fast flowing waters once made it the most dangerous obstacle on the way to the Klondike gold fields. During your hiking excursion of Miles Canyon your guide will talk to you about the history of the gold rush and you will continue your hike to the nearby Klondike Gold Rush ghost town of Canyon City for further immersion into the history and culture of Whitehorse and the Yukon.
