Carved by an ancient glacial river the Bent canyon bears an unusual shape due to the dramatic bend in it's center. Numerous caves and crevices pock the canyon walls making for excellent den sites if patrons aren't to afraid of the steep incline. The walls of the canyon are a mix of various colored rock from warm grays to russet tones to the occasional band of cream hued stone. Affected by the rain-shadow of nearby mountain ranges, the weather here is fairly dry and arid. However, remnants of that ancient river still flow through the canyon providing a source of water for it's residents.
