Is it possible to get over there by the gorge? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canyon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the gorge?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is it possible to get over there' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'possible' could be 'on' ('not on' can mean unacceptable or not possible) and 'on' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cany' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
