Quite the amazing view of this beautiful canyon. We wanted something to do but not too far from the city, this was a great little hike with some of the most incredible views we’ve ever seen. We also went up to the lookout to see where we had been and just more amazing scenery! Crossing the canyon bridge adds to the excitement of the visit. Easy path for slow pokes.

Easy trails from suspension bridge to Canyon City. Roots and rocks locally. Peaceful along the Yukon River. The Canyon City site is interesting. The information signs at the parking lot, the bridge and the Canyon City are helpful. The immediate parking lot is small, but there is overflow parking along the access road. The exposures of the basalt, which created Miles Canyon, seen along the trail are very good. Many runners out along the trails. Visited June 11/23.

I rented a bike from Cadence Cycle in downtown Whitehorse and I cycled up 2 Mile Road to the white horse statue, and then down the Alaska Highway to Miles Canyon. I returned back to downtown White horse via Schwatka Lake and all the floatplanes. I highly recommend this route to everyone by car or bike. Miles Canyon is definitely not to be missed. It is so pristine and clean and quiet. I crossed the bridge and then did the trails to the right of the bridge which were easy and offered some breathtaking views. It’s hard to believe there’s a park like this so close to the city.

Awesome views just a short ride from Whitehorse. Easy to get to. Several trails to along the river, and you can hike to the top of the island. Can easily spend an hour or more there, or you can enjoy the view from the parking lot and be on your way. A must do if you're in the area.

Cannot drive down during the Winter season but it's a short 10 min walk to the bridge from the road entrance.

You can also walk back up the slightly steeper snowy pathway from the bridge entrance through the trees to avoid double backing up the hill.

Picturesque river running through the canyon.

Excellent but the west bank is impassable now due to wash outs on sand cliff. Do not attempt this with children, dogs. You will end up having to cut out to miles canyon road in order to get back to start.
There definitely are some each and swimming areas on east side which are nice. Take bear spray.

Fresh from landing in Whitehorse, we went to the Miles Canyon. Pretty quiet area, great introduction and great time to condition yourself to the lack of crowds in parks unlike what you experience down south.

Yukon river colours were vivid and coming out and going north, there is also a lookout of the canyon and the nearby mountains.

Spectacular trail. We actually walked out there from Whitehorse and back again so that racked up a few miles.
The most amazing and varied scenery and hardly anyone around. A little bit tricky at times if you miss the main trail especially near the canyon on the narrow path next to the gorge with tree roots ready to trip you up if you're not careful.
It was all well worth the effort and highly recommend.

Take a friend or family or even a tour boat to blast through the canyon waters . It will not disappoint . You can walk or hike along side of it or take the swinging bridge across the canyon to the other side . Loop around for a wonderful walk

Super informative guide on two hour walk. Some steep spots so being in shape helps. Absolutely beautiful views from bridge. Not wheelchair accessible at all. Ghost town at end of tour is basically just the spot. No buildings etc. definitely worth it though!! Beautiful scenery!
