Reviews of Miles Canyon (Tourist Attraction)

Jeff Bain

Beautiful setting and view of the river Canyon.

Ana De Leon

Ideal place for a relaxing walk. Not far from Whitehorse town centre. No vandalism and the park was well maintained, hopefully people who come to visit will keep it clean too

NIBIN JAMES

Picnic spot

Alex Lu

The water is very very clean. Like

Jason Hackett

Breathtaking beauty. Lovely place to walk, hike, bike, picnic, etc

Bill McIntyre

It was really beautiful the bridge was a real treat to walk over. I noticed that they have started to put padlock on the fence. I hope they take them off before it ruins the bridge. It was well worth the time we spent there

Jarrett Beck

The suspension bridge leads you over to a lovely set of trails but most important was dipping toes in the Yukon. I've been there so many times since I was a kid but it never gets old.

Matt Scobel

Beautiful area in Whitehorse!

William Cable

Nice area to hike, offering short hikes or longer loops.

Masako Yamashita

(Translated) The Yukon River is a beautiful emerald green river in this area, flowing through the valley. It is a superb view when viewed from above the suspension bridge. Looking at the signboard, it seems that trails for walking and bicycles are in place. Walking along the riverside trails will make you feel good. The river width around here is extremely narrow. Looking upstream from the suspension bridge, you can see the river meandering, and there are rocky rocks in the river. Before the power plant dam was built, this area used to be a rapid current swirling rapids. It is the origin of the name of White Horse that the white wave of Hayase was like a mane of Hakuba. (Original) ユーコン川はこの辺りでは美しいエメラルドグリーンの川になって、渓谷を流れています。吊り橋の上から眺めると絶景です。案内板を見るとウォーキングのためや自転車のためのトレイルが整備されているようだ。川沿いのトレイルを歩いたら気持ちが良いことだろう。 この辺りの川幅は極端に狭まっている。そして吊り橋から上流を望むと川が大きく蛇行しているのが見え、しかも川の中には岩場もある。発電所のダムができる前、かつてこの付近は急流渦巻く早瀬だったそうだ。その早瀬の白波立つ様が白馬のたてがみのようだったことが、ホワイトホースの名前の由来である。

Nice

Charles Kedziora

A serious spectacle, if you are interested area it's a thing to see. Walking trails all throughout that link back up to Riverdale and the rest of Whitehorse.

Kim

Truly Beautiful canyon and nice hike. So close to Whitehorse, but you feel far from a city.

Yoon Choi

Nice hike

Nisarg Gajjar

Amazing place. Be sure to dress up appropriately in winter as the road leading to it is closed and you've to walk like a kilometre

Harjot Singh

One of the closest places from downtown Whitehorse.

Jade Phan

We enjoyed the bike trail from Downtown Whitehorse to the Miles Canyon. The water is very fast moving, it’s dangerous to jump into the water.

Mark Algar

Good walk in nature, trail steep and challenging at times. A great morning spent here.

Claire Lai

Nice place nice river.

Saad Munir

A must visit.....beautifullllllll

Samuel Law

Beautiful scenery. Just a heads up the parking area is closed from October to May. We had to walk about 1km down to the bridge area.

Randy J

Wonderful short hike across a suspension bridge. Fun and short. Would do it again. Views were great!

Sean M

Awesome hike, very historical. And the views were incredible. We also found a great Cooley to dip our feet in the water. Others were swimming and having a great time as well. Highly recommend this Trail

Dvija Das

Views are gorgeous, terrain is pleasingly varied .. canyon is AMAZING ! .. ....and best, the overall atmosphere is Transcendentally conDUCIVE !! conDUCTIVE, even l'd have to say !!!!

Qurrat Ahmad

Beautiful walk along the water

Philip Kay

Awesome, easy hike.

Sunny Ho

Nice little place to stop by along the highway, featuring a rickety suspension bridge and gorgeous views of a canyon. Unfortunately i stopped by on an overcast day. I’m sure the views would be that much nicer on a sunny day. Lots of trails around the area as well, but make sure you’re bear aware!

Carman Christopher

Beautiful views and awsome hiking

Andrew Kalek

It was magical, just like the rest of the Yukon!

CS Whelihan

The views cannot be matched / Gorgeous. Very interesting history.

Cecile McVittie

The water is turquoise, fast-flowing and clear. Not overly developed and no fencing along the gorge, so littles need to be closely monitored. Really want to kayak this!! Trails on both sides.

Christine Yablonka

Took the hike to Canyon City, and also hiked down the opposite way to the end of the lake. Unless you're just in the mood for a walk, you don't miss to much if you just drive and park at Canyon City instead of doing the trail.

Sevdet Etcioglu

Amazing

Steve Bolton

Great scenery, wear appropriate shoes!

Derek Kwan Seki

It is pretty and worth visit

Jack Art

Nice view, easy hike if you are good with hills. The road is closed from Oct to May, but is still accessible if you park where the road is closed.

LeMortalPanda

Great hiking trails and breathtaking scenery

Shubham Patel

Nice hike with a good view

Steve Matthews

Beautiful scenery and easy but dangerous hiking for the adventurous types. Not recommended for young children as there are no barriers along the canyon walls.

Ross Ferguson

The water is so incredibly clear and beautiful.

Fab Delare

(Translated) Very nice place and easy walk for everyone. You can either park a short drive away (be careful, some roads to get there are closed from October to May) or you can walk there from Whitehorse. For this, count a loop between 15 and 20km (without great difficulty) depending on the path you take. Because yes, it is not necessarily easy to find your way from Whitehorse, which is why I only give 4 stars. (Original) Très joli lieu et balade facile à la portée de tous. Vous pouvez soit vous garer pas très loin en voiture (attention, certaines routes pour y accéder sont fermées d'octobre à mai) soit vous pouvez y aller à pied depuis Whitehorse. Pour cela, comptez une boucle entre 15 et 20km (sans grandes difficultés) selon le chemin que vous prenez. Car oui, il n'est pas forcément facile de se repérer depuis Whitehorse, raison pour laquelle je ne mets que 4 étoiles.

(Translated) Handsome (Original) Hermoso

Wendy Sellers

Absolutely gorgeous! Best stop for a lunch with a view but please watch your children as there is no guard rail to prevent a fall into the rushing water.

Joti Kundalini

(Translated) Amazing one most very close to town. Accessible with children. Bring a picnic. (Original) Amazing un most tout près de la ville. Accessible avec lés enfants. Apporter un picnique.

Andrea vandenHoek

Beautiful

Primeval Atom

Must see. Free guided tour is fantastic.

Beautiful spot and a must-see attraction when visiting Whitehorse. Worth the hike up to Canyon City. There are also trails that lead back to the city on both sides of the river.

Jon C

Majestic. Accessible. Just wow

Sanjana Nujhat

Nice view point ????

Matthew Lieurance

Nice area to go on a easy hike. Beautiful view of the river.

Mike Carl McSachlich

Certainly one of the most scenic natural sites near Whitehorse. Only a short walk from the parking area to the suspension bridge. If you allow for - at least - one hour to enjoy the views, sights and sounds around the small and not very deep canyon, you will experience the impact on your mind, can unwind, and even enjoy watching various animals like foxes, etc.

N Baldock

Great place to hike and canoe.

t1cktokfamous

Got to see it to belive its beauty

Dave Shalala

Went on an interpretive walk and it was really great to see the old remnants of the city/stop that once stood there.

Ryan Winslow

I am a resident of Whitehorse and I love Miles Canyon. You can walk, cross country ski, mountain bike, etc. there. We used to walk our dogs there. We also did a bridal shoot there. Gorgeous views, great bridge, great trails, lots of fresh air. Be careful not to fall over or let your dogs fall over the edge.

Gary Adams

Just stunningly beautiful

Jerry Yen

A quiet getaway near the city

Kara Popplestone

Loved this hike!! But only on the far side of the river the near side is about 50% on the road, not a hike. Next time we will take more water though

Ahmer Nadeem Memon

Amazing scenery stunning surroundings. A must visit place

Joshua Harris

One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life! Loved the experience when I visited in August with my family. I would definitely recommend checking out this very scenic spot to anyone.

Great Hike with gorgeous scenery

Make this a must do on your visit

linsay setzer

Gorgeous!

Incredible scenery. Some trails not suitable for young children as they are close to the cliff edge.

Olivier Smith

A must see if you’re in Whitehorse!

Catachan jungle fighter

well... it's a canyon... with a river... if you jump in, it'll probably kill you... soooo...

Allie Moore

My favourite spot I visited in Whitehorse. In the off season (I was there at the end of April) the gate is closed and you have to park by the highway and walk in. It can be a bit treacherous (snowy/icy road and paths) but it's not too bad. Once you get there, the view of the canyon is gorgeous. Would love to go back in the summer and check out the trails.

Laura King

Loved it!

Chris and Nicole

What a wonderful place to visit not far outside of Whitehorse. Lots of parking available. Great hiking trails and the suspension bridge is really cool to be able to walk across. Family and dog friendly place! The turquoise blue waters of the canyon are truly a sight to see!

Peter Fan

Good place for a casual, scenic walk around the canyon. The bridge itself is not all that impressive.

Jeremy Hannaford

This is a must see trail to walk in Whitehorse. The colours of the water and the landscape are amazing to behold. Either way provides amazing views to see. We walked to Canyon City which was an old mining area. All that's left is a trail cart and an infographic to explain but it was still a lovely trail.

Nitin Joshi

Get closer to the nature. Simply walk along trails and you will forget everything else

Horst Bauer

(Translated) Impressive natural spectacle (Original) Beindruckendes Naturschauspiel

Leah Bruce

Beautiful location and great history! Will definitely go back and explore the trails another time.

Sahar Salimi

Beautiful place, nice for a short hike

Mr. Y

It's a nice place to visit. You van spend a long while watching the Yukon river flowing through the canyon. There are many trails you can explore. This place also provided guided nature walk so you can have a better understanding of this land.

Isabel Rivera

Great view

Rob Deighton

This is a very cool place 5 minutes from Whitehorse great trails right along the canyon edge

Jiří Leipert

Susan Wall

Stunningly beautiful! Rich history.

Scott Armstrong

Go there

Dillon L

Great trails with markings and gorgeous scenery all around. Fishing, boating, hiking and other outdoor activities make this a suitable place for anyone to visit.

Andrew Schulder

Gorgeous place to visit. If you have small kids, be careful when bringing them here. No safety rails at all. Fall hazards all around

Nancy Johnson

Lovely Bridge and a lovely view of the Canyon.

J C

Unbelievable beauty.

Maxime Audet

Lovely place for a hike

Momo Lim

(Translated) Maeral deusaek in the dark shop and has a wall surface is in Jusangjeolli. Looks good to trek. There is no beaver here. (Original) 물색이 진한 에매랄드색이고 벽면이 주상절리로 되어 있다. 트레킹하기 괜찮아 보임. 이곳에 비버는 없다.

In wonder and amazment of this place each time I visit.

Abdullah El-Safadi

Very close to whitehorse. I loved the it. They offer guided tours on specific days/hours. This attraction is worth visiting.

Chris Colliver

Scenic canyon, Worth the visit

William Wong

Great viewing in winter season

Marylene Jules

Nice walk/hike. Fairly easy. But beware of the tree roots. They are prolific. Miles Canyon was created by the Yukon River flowing through basaltic lava. The lava was created 8.5 million years ago from a nearby vent. After the Whitehorse power dam was built, Schwatca Lake was created and the water level through Miles Canyon was raised by about 33 feet or 10 meters.

Daniel Appleby

Amazing colours and views. You can stop for a quick 5 minutes or hike the trails for more than an hour. Some of the path along the water is pretty sketchy so I would be very careful with kids or dogs.

Felix Girard

Lot of trails, sadly we didn’t have best weather but the hikes in the park are well maintained

Uday M.

Pretty cool, even though the gate is closed you can still do the walk. Just park outside the gates and walk down it's a 8 minute walk down to the bridge. Also from the bridge you walk another few minutes for some nice photo. After that you can head back or continue on the trails

Rowan

Nice short 1-2km trails available if you dont have much time, decent shoes/sandles recommended.

Sheldon M

Awesome place

The Deys

Well marked trails would help.

Kian Shoai

Absolutely stunning views. Highly recommend taking a hike to view Miles Canyon. The suspension bridge offers great views and an absolute geological marvel.

Wanderer Grove

Very beautiful walk. The trails are well marked. Great for a family outing.

Margaret Gordon

Loved it

chiharu iwata

(Translated) There is a trek along the valley. The view of the nearby observation deck is superb and recommended. There was a hypothetical toilet near the parking lot. Information on the bridge is under construction. (Original) 渓谷沿いにトレックがあります。近くの展望台の景色は見事でおすすめです。駐車場の近くに仮説トイレがありました。橋は工事中の情報があります。

Carla Braun

One of my favourite places to visit close to Whitehorse, and a must-see for any tourist. Stunningly beautiful and historically interesting. Not well marked for a first-time visit: as in, no signage and the road is open in season only. New bridge (as of 2017) to ensure a safe crossing of the river. Lots of trails to explore.

Mapolenka S

Excellent place to see the river and canyon, the trail is well maintained.

Peg Jensen

Extremely beautiful, keep a hand hold with the young ones though, one stumble, very dangerous...

Jackie Shanks

Beautiful!

Timothy Colwell

If you are looking for a break from your travels or a place to get out and breathe that clean Yukon air, this is a marvelous place to try. The trail system here offers several different options. You can hike across the bridge and do a 10 minute walk down to the first corner of you can take a couple hours and explore. The trail winds it way along the edge of the canyon offering stunning views of the blue-green water and the rock formations below. This is a good place to bring the whole family unless you have young kids who like to wander. One slip over the edge can ruin a nice hike.

Barbara Rokeby

We loved our hike here.
