A private boat tour departing Schwatka Lake and heading upstream through the basalt cliffs of Miles Canyon and past historic Canyon City, on the blue-green upper reaches of the Yukon River — watching for bears, moose, loons, and beavers along the way.
Miles Canyon is a stretch of the Yukon River squeezed between basalt cliffs, formed when a flow of lava spread over the landscape nearly nine million years ago. The walls rise up to roughly 68 metres, and the water is the deep blue-green that gives the river its character. Before the Whitehorse dam, the canyon and the White Horse Rapids were a hazard for river travellers.
Canyon City, at the upstream end, was a short-lived Klondike Gold Rush town. In 1897 two entrepreneurs from Victoria built horse-drawn tramways on each side of the canyon so stampeders could haul boats and freight around the rapids, and the town was busy for only about three summers. Its remains are a heritage site, which makes the boat a good way to see it from the water.
The Whitehorse hydro dam, built in 1957 and 1958, created Schwatka Lake and raised the water in the canyon by about ten metres, drowning the rapids. The boat tour starts on that lake. Wildlife viewing is a bonus rather than a promise, though bears, moose and beavers do frequent the shoreline.
