Is that all natural or was that area quarried at some point?

Surprisingly it is erosion from bad farming practices, every state has their Grand Canyon, this is considered Georgia’s

I wondered. It looks like it was manipulated.

Those are some amazing photos! This definitely looks like a spot I’d like to see for myself! Majestic. I’m in Florida, so it’s actually a possibility.

My wife and I are in Illinois but we go hike in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee all the time. I'm all about checking out the neighbor states.

I've seen a YT video of this area before. I can't say when or who did it. I was amazed that it was all eroded in fairly recently times. Good pictures. I enjoyed that old station wagon with tail fins.

I did some hiking in that area about 40 years ago. I think it was there that I found some quicksand in the canyon. Nothing dangerous but I was a little nervous when I got knee deep. Those pictures are beautiful!
