Redsand Canyon But it shouldn't be difficult to explain

The beast was most active at night, preferring the cooler temperatures and the way his raven coat blended in with the shadows. Tonight, he made his way along the borders of the most northern part of the canyon; the climate here was more to his liking too, and rain was never something he minded. He stuck to the places where the trees were most numerous, hiding in the darkness as he made sure nothing was out of place along the borders. Of course, he'd welcome a trespasser if it meant inflicting his favorite form of justice. So far, though, things had been quiet aside from the trickling of a nearby stream and the occasional hoot of an owl or scurrying of a some rodent out of his path. Rain spattered through the tops of the tall trees, dampening his coat as he moved, but he didn't much care. 

His trail lead him to the stream eventually, and he stopped to take a drink before wading across it to the other side. Once he was out of the water, he paused only long enough to shake out his dark coat, and then he was off along the borders again, careful to remain in the shadows wherever possible.
