Miles Canyon Self-Guided Audio Nature Walking Tour

About this activity

Explore Whitehorse’s Miles Canyon on a self-guided audio nature tour that plays through your smartphone.

Across 19 GPS-triggered stops on the 4.5-kilometre Lower Canyon City Trail, discover the Yukon River, Miles Canyon’s basalt geology, local plants and wildlife, First Nations connections, Gold Rush travel, sternwheelers and the remains of historic Canyon City. Look out for the Robert Lowe Suspension Bridge and views toward Grey Mountain.

Audio plays automatically near each point of interest, while the live map shows your location and route. Download the tour over Wi-Fi before you begin, then hike without using mobile data.
