 To the early Klondikers, Chilkoot Pass was a personality, a Presence at once sinister1, cruel, and forbidding. So, too, only in greater measure, was Miles Canon. The Chilkoot toyed with men, it wore them out, it stripped them of their strength and their manhood, it wrecked3 their courage and it broke their hearts. The canon sucked them in and swallowed them. This canon is nothing more nor less than a rift4 in a great basaltic barrier which lies athwart the river's course, the entrance to it being much like the door in a wall. Above it the waters are dammed and into it they pour as into a flume; down it they rage in swiftly increasing fury, for it is steeply pitched, and, although the gorge5 itself is not long, immediately below it are other turbulent stretches equally treacherous6. It seems as if here, within the space of some four miles, Nature had exhausted8 her ingenuity9 in inventing terrors to frighten invaders10, as if here she had combined every possible peril11 of river travel. The result of her labors12 is a series of cataclysms13.
 
Immediately below Miles Canon itself are the Squaw Rapids, where the torrent14 spills itself over a confusion of boulders
