Life on the Vertical: The Goats of Canada's Grand Canyon (VHS): Sandwiched between the Rockies and the Coast Mountains, the Stikine River runs through northern British Columbia in one of the most remote areas in Canada: more humans have walked on the moon than have travelled the river's length. Its mid-section is a true proving ground, where turbulent whitewater rages through Canada's Grand Canyon – a chasm as deep as the Eiffel Tower is high.

Enter the magical world of this vertical ecosystem, which supports a surprising number of species, chief among them the sturdy but graceful mountain goat. With death-defying leaps and bounds, the animals negotiate the cliff's edge, clinging and balancing themselves like tight-rope artists.

Take a year-long journey with the snow-white goats as they travel the Stikine's “skyway highway,” and see how they interact and survive in this wild terrain. You'll explore the unique geology and ecology of the canyon, and will experience the ethereal changing of seasons in this northern wonderland.
