Ouimet Canyon
Dorion
Two great rock walls frame Ouimet Canyon. Blocks of stone lie at the bottom. Down there, Arctic plants grow far south of their usual home.
Did you know?
The canyon walls are about 100 metres high.
Look together
Where are the big blocks of rock that fell from the cliffs?
An idea to try
Draw a canyon with a floor, two walls and a wooded rim.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
Ouimet Canyon has cliffs about 100 metres high. Its floor provides unusual conditions that support plants generally found much farther north. The drawing enlarges some blocks for clarity. This fragile environment can be observed from the designated trails and viewpoints.
