We went there with our youngest daughter when she was in high school. We stayed at a lodge at the edge of the canyon. In the morning we woke up to find a few inches of fresh snow and sunshine. The canyon only had snow partway down and looked marvelous. As we looked at it a small group of caribou moved through the small trees around the lodge. We walked over and watched them graze as they moved through. They were not afraid of us and allowed us to get pretty close without being spooked. It was one of those magical times which you seldom ever have with wild animals. The canyon is as close to a naturally religious experience as there is.
