Little River Canyon - The Grand Canyon of Alabama

Yesterday we explored the Little River Canyon which is known as the Grand Canyon of Alabama. Little River is one of the nation's longest rivers that forms and flows for most of its length atop a mountain. Then it plunges off the Cumberland Plateau at the head of Little River Canyon. Beginning at 1,900 feet above sea level on Lookout Mountain the Little River ends up at 650 feet above sea level at Weiss Lake. The result is one of the most extensive canyon and gorge systems in the eastern United States.

We started our trip down the canyon at the Little River waterfalls in Fort Payne, AL. The pictures I am posting just do not do justice to great views we saw. I am always amazed that what is on the camera is not anywhere as good as what we see.

Today is a relaxing day at the campground because tomorrow we hit the road for Mountain Lakes Resort, Fair Play, SC. It's a 237 mile drive so we will hit the road early. We like to get in to the next campground early so I can be a watcher. I like watching the other campers as they arrive and hook up. Sometime it is funny watching them try to park their big rigs or back in the large 5th wheel campers.

Today Bev also did some laundry as I relaxed (as it should be). Live is good when you have BEER.
