You can see the trees on the canyon wall going a long way down.

They have some huge Ravens here!
When we got back to our campsite, we noticed a couple of ravens working on a
styrofoam cooler at the next campsite. They are very smart and know that food is inside this type of box.

This is what is left of the cooler after I chased the ravens away.
The top was cut in half and the sides opened up.
Styrofoam pieces and food wrappers are laying all around the table, bench, and ground.

These white tailed squirrels are named for the 1-2 inch tufts of fur that grow on their ears
in the winter to protect the ear from the cold.
