Providence Canyon, Georgia is a 160-year-old canyon in southeastern Georgia, which we hiked through last week while we were on vacation.[More:] It's a canyon of clay, not stone, and was created thanks to poor farming practices in the late 1800s which started an erosion problem that's pretty spectacular now!

The white layer under the red Georgia clay is kaolin, and we saw it in a local Piggly Wiggly being sold in little bags like candy, because some people eat dirt.

The canyon was named for this little church, which was the second version of the church, built in 1859. The first one had been built on land that was eventually claimed by the canyon.
That's a gorgeous set of photos, BP! Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful shots, BeeP! I'd no idea there was such a scenic canyon type place in the south. Thanks for sharing!

Whoa, man-made canyon! (Manyon?)

Re: dirt eaters... I have a friend who's grandmother used to eat ashes. It's a strange world.
