      Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” is a
 Traveler  during the 1800s, yet today they make for
 Traveler
      testament to the power of man’s influence on
      the land. Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet
      were caused simply by poor farming practices
      some of the prettiest photographs in the state.
      The rare plumleaf azalea grows only in this
      region and blooms during July and August
      when most azaleas have lost their color. The
      canyon soil’s pink, orange, red and purple hues
      make a beautiful natural painting at this quiet
      park. gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon
