SILVER TRAIL wild country, pristine rivers Travel the Silver Trail and discover a fascinating region with a mining history that rivals the Klondike. Further afield, rivers with names like the Wind River (Tr’iniintr’aiinjik), Snake River (Gyuu Dazhoonjik) and Bonnet Plume River (Tsaih Tl’ak Njik) make the Silver Trail a mecca for wilderness paddlers drawn to wild country and pristine rivers. The Northern Tutchone people of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun 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. Stewart Crossing Keno Mayo WHITEHORSE Keno Hill Signpost, Keno – B. Atkinson 84
