Yellowstone Canyon

This canyon likely isn't the steep drop that you're used to. Instead, the canyon recedes slowly to the bottom, where a gushing river lies. The trip down will still be dangerously steep though, particularly as the sides of the canyon are often overlayed with ragged rock. But soft, almost sandy soil supports some of the canyon. Now surprisingly, quite a few trees have found root among the rocks, most of them being scraggly evergreens. It's funny that they can survive here, even when the gravely, loose soil frequently gives way.
