76 Silver Trail Wild Country, Pristine Rivers <strong>Travel</strong> the Silver Trail and discover a fascinating region with a mining history that rivals the Klondike. Further afield, rivers with names like the Wind, Snake and Bonnet Plume make the Silver Trail a mecca for wilderness paddlers drawn to wild country and pristine rivers. The Northern Tutchone-speaking people of the Na-Cho Nyäk Dun First Nation have used these rivers and overland routes as their highways for generations. Today, mining, hunting and trapping remain active here, and you’ll find an authenticity you won’t soon forget. Keno Hill Signpost, Keno – B. Atkinson
