Hiking
The canyon is a glacial trough formed by glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age.
It lies between peaks such as Rockchuck Peak and Mount Saint John to the south and Mount Woodring to the north. At the base of the canyon lies Leigh Lake, and further up the canyon is the alpine lake Holly Lake (2,870 m).
