Description
The late afternoon sun back lights the autumn leaves and warms the canyon walls in Providence Canyon State Park in Georgia. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". It is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. Providence Canyon actually is not a purely natural feature—many of the massive gullies (the deepest of which is more than 150 feet) are the result of erosion due to poor farming practices in the 19th century. This story of the origin of the canyons has been commonplace since the 1940s, but the formations in the canyons are at least partially natural.
