It is Ouimet Canyon. As for the interesting bit about the place: it likely formed along a fault line associated with the Mid-Continental Rift, but was scoured out by glacial melt water during the retreat of the Laurentian ice sheet. The vegetation on the canyon floor is primarily arctic species which became established at the end of the last ice age and remain there to this day. Have at it rskylar!
