RIP :(
I have traveled in Georgia for years and have worked in the area of the park and have never heard of it. I even have a friend who lives half an hour away from the park and had never been there. How do we miss these gems? here is a excerpt from From
http://www.gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon that give a little background of how it happened.
Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” is a testament to the power of man’s influence on the land. Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet were caused simply by poor farming practices during the 1800s, yet today they make some of the prettiest photographs within the state. The rare Plumleaf Azalea grows only in this region and blooms during July and August when most azaleas have lost their color. The canyon soil’s pink, orange, red and purple hues make a beautiful natural painting at this quiet park.
