Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” is a testament to the power of man’s influence on the land.
The canyons were formed by poor farming practices during the 1800s, when farmers took no steps to avoid soil erosion. Ditches several feet deep were formed, and as a result, runoff and the rate of erosion increased. Over the years, the flow of water and sand has helped create amazing pinnacles that are almost vertical.

Although the reasons for Providence Canyon's formation weren't exactly positive, the result is a spectacular site that includes canyons forged from sandstone as well as chasms, cliffs, and a wide array of colored soil that includes red, white, purple, pink and orange.
