A couple months ago, we headed the opposite direction of our normal hiking grounds in North Georgia and headed south to Providence Canyon, known as the "Grand Canyons of Georgia". It was a beautiful day out, the first warm day we'd had in weeks after some really cold weather. The park was packed!
We parked at the guest center where the bathrooms were and began the trail from there.
We followed the trail down to the stream and explored the inner rims of the canyon. The inner rims of the canyons were sloped with sandy hills, so Kansas would excited sprint through the sand and then lay down in the cool sand to cool off. He was cracking me up.
The trails aren't marked as you got inside areas like this (probably because it wasn't the trail lol), so you have to feel your way around or follow others leads. We walked around aimlessly for about 30 minutes, exploring and searching for a way to get back out to the main trail. Finally, we heard voices and followed the sounds to find our way out.
Pet owners! Bring towels! The inner rims are usually wet and muddy and a lot of the dogs were soaking wet. Mine included.
Along the outer rim trail, we came across these abandon cars that are now protected by the state park. They serve as ecosystems to the local animals, so they'll continue to remain there. Pretty cool, I love that.
The views from the outer rims looking in were so pretty! We enjoyed the rest of our hike and called it it a day. Another beautiful day spent admiring nature's beauty!
