A fairly long way.  Some of those chums in the Yukon system travel well over a thousand miles unlike some of ours which go 150 feet and then do their stuff.  There are chinook i think that go over Rearguard falls on the Fraser which is way way up there and thats a fair distance.  Amazing creatures...

Up to Mount Robson, but I don't think they can actually make it past Rearguard falls can they?

I've seen chinooks jumping like mad at Rearguard falls but I don't think they can make it past it as it is quite a high waterfall.
