Scott, you really need to dump Bing. One click in Google's image search located the canyon. And for those using Google just right click over the image Scott posted and select "search google for this image" to see the power of google image search.
Blyde River Canyon - South Africa
The Blyde River Canyon is a significant natural feature of South Africa, located in Mpumalanga, and forming the northern part of the Drakensbergescarpment. It is 25 kilometres (16 mi) in length and is, on average, around 750 metres (2,461 ft) deep. The Blyderivierpoort Dam, when full, is at an altitude of 665 metres (2,182 ft). The Canyon consists mostly of red sandstone. The highest point of the canyon, Mariepskop, is 1,944 metres (6,378 ft)above sea level, whilst its lowest point where the river leaves the canyon is slightly less than 561 metres (1,841 ft) above sea level. This means that by some measure the Canyon is 1,383 metres (4,537 ft) deep.

Yeah.... it must be a pretty popular geological feature because when I did the google search there were thousands of similar pictures. It reminded me of all the similar pictures of the Zion Subway floating around.

After doing a little research I was surprised to learn the Canyoneering is popular is South Africa. It's more commonly known as Canyoning or Kloofing in the area. Here is one video that I was looking at from the Tstsikamma mountains.
