The Canyon (Tubi) - 2009 flick starring Yvonne Stra-hotski, and Eion
Bailey (with special appearance from Will Patton!).
I actually am pretty sure I've seen this flick, or at least part of
it, before.
Stra-hotski and Bailey play newlyweds - he wants to take her on a
mule ride tour of the Grand Canyon for the honeymoon. But he didn't book
in advance, so he's screwed! Until old salt guide Will Patton shows up,
and offers to take them (likely on the D.L.!).
Of course, you know this is going to end in disaster, and it does
when Patton is bitten by rattlesnakes and the mules run off.
So they're far away from civilization, get lost, make horrible and
dumb mistakes, and are menaced by wolves most of the time.

Are there any actual wolves-- not coyotes or jackals but real big,
bad-ass wolves-- in the Grand Canyon? I don't think so.

Fish &  game tries to keep them out, but they show up now and then and
usually get shot for their trouble.
 

The Grand Canyon is BIG!  The small bit that most tourists see is only a
small percentage of it.

I would expect the wild life is much more wild on the north side of
the GC. Especially since as far as I know the north side still shuts
down in the winter because the snow gets too much for the limited # of
visitors the north side gets. Which always seems so strange since it
only about five miles from the south side, as the crow flies, but it's
over 100 miles from the nearest town when driving.
