Miles Canyon is located just a few kilometres outside of downtown Whitehorse, and is an ancient landscape created by basaltic lava from almost nine million years ago! With a ribbon of beautiful turquoise water running between the cliffs, Miles Canyon is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience stunning Yukon scenery. During summer, visitors can explore the extensive trail system or take part in Created at the Canyon, an interactive event featuring artists creating art inspired by their natural surroundings. Miles Canyon offers something for everyone, so be sure to check it out!

Eryn's Tips:

• I love to trail run by Miles Canyon in the summer, and it is a beautiful drive for all ages and fitness levels! The road is closed in the winter, but you can still walk to the canyon via the Chadburn Lake Road, and see the stunning blue water of the Yukon River :)

• Walking the trails towards Canyon City gives you beautiful views, and you can learn tons about the Yukon's history along the way!

• The Yukon River is a bright blue that contrasts beautifully with the green forest and unique rock formations, making this area great for photos!

• The suspension bridge is a little scary (if you're like me and scared of heights), but I promise, it is not going anywhere! Even though it may seem that way when you can feel it swaying beneath your feet as you walk across it!
