Despite its place on this board, this view is not of Arizona's Grand Canyon. It shows Miles Canyon on the upper Yukon River, near present-day Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, and the record uses the older name Lewis River for this stretch of water. During the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897 and 1898, thousands of prospectors had to run or line their boats through this narrow gorge and the rough water below it, and many lost boats or supplies in the attempt. The scene shows the kind of hazard that made the canyon a well-known obstacle on the route north.
