Downstream on the South Nahanni River, there are four spectacular canyons, starting with the Fourth Canyon. The Fourth Canyon has been formed just after Virginia Falls. The Third Canyon has been formed cutting the mountains of the Funeral Range. At the Gate of Third Canyon, the river takes a dramatic turn. The Second Canyon passes through the mountain of the Headless Range, which finally leads to the First Canyon through Deadmen Valley. The depth of the First Canyon is the highest in the park and it has created the most stunning landscape of the park.
