Beginning with the rising curtain of sunlight that illuminates it's mile deep walls each morning, this canyon comes alive with creatures large and small: mountain lions, mule deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, desert tortoises, scorpions, lizards, and the rare Kiabab squirrel! Descending into the Canyon by mule, a summer lightening storm, rafting the Colorado River, ghosts of the Ancient Ones- The Anasazi, and a flash flood are all here. Shaman's Gallery, thought to predate the time of Christ and never before filmed, is also shown. A mountain lion stalks and pursues mule deer, the king snake captures a cactus mouse, and desert shrimp mysteriously hatch in a pond that has been dry for months.
