Miles Canyon is a narrow section of the Yukon River formed when fast water cut through volcanic basalt over thousands of years. It created steep canyon walls and strong current in a tight channel.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
The Yukon River system has long been used by Indigenous peoples for travel, trade, fishing, and seasonal movement between regions. This stretch of river was part of established routes connecting communities across the territory.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆:
During the Klondike Gold Rush (1896–1899), Miles Canyon became a major obstacle for stampeders traveling to Dawson City. The rapids were difficult to navigate, and several boats were lost. Many travelers portaged around the canyon.

In 1900, a toll bridge was built near the site to allow safer crossing as river traffic increased.

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲:
Miles Canyon reflects three layers of history: Indigenous river use, Gold Rush travel routes, and early infrastructure development in the Yukon.

Today it is a historic and protected area with walking trails and viewpoints near Whitehorse.

Emerald Lake is located along the South Klondike Highway in southern Yukon, between Whitehorse and Carcross. The lake is known for its turquoise and green water, caused by white marl deposits left behind by glaciers during the last ice age.

The surrounding limestone hills were formed millions of years ago when this area was covered by a shallow sea. Today, Emerald Lake is one of the most photographed stops along the highway and part of the historic route connected to the Klondike Gold Rush.

Atlin Mountain sits right above the town of Atlin and has been part of the area’s story for a long time.

History: During the Klondike Gold Rush era, miners and traders passed through the Atlin area. The mountain was a constant landmark above the routes into the district, tied to the early mining boom that put Atlin on the map.

Culture: For locals and Indigenous communities, the mountain is part of everyday identity — it’s just “the mountain” that frames the lake and town. It represents the remote, northern way of life and the deep connection to the land.

Tourism: Today it’s a big draw for visitors. People come for the views over Atlin Lake, hiking in summer, and snowmobiling and hill climbs in winter. It’s one of the main reasons Atlin is known for its dramatic scenery.
