The Yukon River runs thru Miles Canyon which is banked by black columns of basalt rock. You cross over the cayon on a suspended footbridge that you can make sway if you want:) The water is a beautiful blue-green color and is really wonderful to look at. We took a half mile hike that follows the river to Canyon City. Canyon City is where people going to Dawson City stopped to prepare themselves for the portage around the rapids. There is not much to see but a winter sled that was used to brings supplies etc.. to the city. Suzanne and I couldn't stop ourselves from putting our feet in the nice cold water. We had our feet in the water as a tour boat came by. We waved and they waved back and I am sure several took pictures of those people with their feet in the water:) We took the road over to town and stopped to take a picture of where we had been. Along the road were several businesses that give float plane rides. They looked like fun!
Please remember David in your prayers.
