It's a great day to be a Dog!!
After a walk around Whitehorse, we headed out to the campground and set up. Now it was time for touring. After a review of Milepost we set off for Miles Canyon and Canyon City. Miles Canyon is a section of the Yukon River. The interesting thing about Miles Canyon is that sides are made of lava that has cracked into columns. Canyon City is about 1 mile upstream from Miles Canyon. This city existed during the gold rush as the starting point of the tram lines that moved miners supplies past the rapids. The city now is just some impressions in the dirt and rusted tin cans. Zaph decided that this was a great spot to swim. As we were enjoying the hike we continued on along the canyon. Zaph had another swim when we returned to Canyon City. Luckily we still had the hike back to Miles Canyon for Zaph to dry off.
