Description |
English: Miles Canyon was one of the most dangerous parts of the Yukon River between Lake Bennett and Dawson. It was only 100 feet wide, with steep cliffs, a whirlpool midway, and a large rock at the lower end. The gold rush stampeders could pay professional guides to take them through the canyon, but many couldn't afford the expense.
This photo shows Miles Canyon around 1898. That summer, a wooden-railed tramway was completed around Miles Canyon and White Horse Rapids, and travelers who could afford it could ride around the canyon in safety.
