There are few original artifacts left at Canyon City, but an interpretive panel gives visitors a good sense of the town site. It's worth the 1.1 mile hike, from the Robert Lowe footbridge, at the Miles Canyon trailhead. The image, above, is a view of the main structures area, from the "YOU ARE HERE" spot on the map. From 1897-1900 hundreds of crudely assembled boats drifted down the Yukon River from the Marsh Lake area, right.
