Road Trip 2018 - Day Eighteen, Little River Canyon

It was another most traveling day as we made our way Northeast from Montgomery Alabama to Chattanooga Tennessee. However on the way was a recommended sight, the Little River Canyon National Preserve.

I've been to National Parks, Monuments, Forests, Battlefield but never to a Preserve. Little River Canyon is touted as the 'Largest Canyon East of the Mississippi." Forgive my nouveau Western State chauvinism, but this is like saying that New Mexico is the greenest state with borders on Arizona. If you have ever been to the Rio Grande Gorge in Taos New Mexico, compared to the Little River Canyon, you will know what I mean.

Nonetheless, a photo op is a photo op.

How big is Little River Canyon?

The water fall at the head of the canyon can be a raging torrent when the river is at its peak

It wasn't today

Today you could walk out over two thirds of the river bed that is covered at flood.

But by the Great Maker's fabric softener running water is running water!

Locals!

We also met and talked with people from Pennsylvania and Florida
