Carving the Earth

Look out toward the valley. Does this canyon have a shape like a "V" or like a "U"? A "U" shape would tell us this canyon was carved by a slow-moving glacier. The steep "V" shape of this canyon shows that it's a young canyon carved by fast-moving water. This is still happening today. Can you guess what water source created this canyon? Did you guess the river below?
