- Canyon City is a Klondike Gold Rush ghost town and a Yukon Government Heritage Site. It is located about 7 km fromdowntown Whitehorse, Yukon at the upstream end of Miles Canyon on the Yukon River. Summer tours are encouraged. Archaeological work shows evidence that First Nations people have used this area for many thousands of years. There were seasonal fish camps above and below Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse Rapids. Early explorers had little contact with the indigenous population, although Frederick Schwatka, in 1883, made note of a First Nations portage trail bypassing Miles Canyon, and, in 1887, George Mercer Dawson, noted the large number of salmon above the canyon — salmon were one of the fish that were important to the aboriginal population.
