II isitors are amazed at the
breathtaking colors of Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon." The rare Plumleaf Azalea and other wildflowers, as well as the pink, orange, red and purple hues of the soft canyon soil, make a beautiful natural painting at this unique park. Visitors can enjoy views of the canyons from the rim trail, and backpackers can stay overnight along the backcountry trail. An interpretive center explains how the massive ditches (the deepest bein~ 150 feet) were caused by erosion due to poor farming practices in the .Boos.
