History & Background
The canyon was carved by glacial meltwater at the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 9,000 years ago. It gained widespread global attention in 2019 when Justin Bieber filmed his music video 'I'll Show You' here, causing such a surge of visitors that the site was temporarily closed. The canyon walls are thick with moss and the river running at the bottom is crystal clear glacial water.
