Miles Canyon

Prior to the Whitehorse dam being built, the stampeders heading to Dawson City had to navigate terrible rapids here. Hundreds of lives and boats were lost. Several methods of getting around the rapids were attempted, such as a rail road made from stripped spruce logs as rails, with some success. This is looking downstream toward a suspension bridge that we walked across.
