The mountain lion occurs only in the western hemisphere and has  one of the most extensive ranges of any land mammal, from the Straights of Magellan in South America to the Canadian Yukon. The major reduction in mountain  lion distribution has come as a result of its extirpation from areas of historic  range in the eastern United States and Canada.


In Arizona, mountain lions are  absent only from the areas heavily impacted by human development. In general,  the distribution of mountain lions in Arizona corresponds with the distribution  of its major prey species, deer.

This is a short much older and lower resolution video of one of my favorite Grand Canyon hikes. It is a hike from the Colorado River up Havasu creek to first Beaver Falls and then Mooney Falls. It is about an 11 mile
round trip but awesome hike.
