We have wanted to visit Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC, and Asheville, NC for some time, and decided that we were going to see them while on the eastern side of the country. While researching Savannah, I came across pictures of Providence Canyon on the Georgia State Parks website. My initial reaction was ” this is in Georgia!? where?” I plotted it on the map and discovered it was in route to Savannah, only adding 45 min to our overall drive time. It worked out, because we started our drive after attending a full day continuing education course and stopped in the town of Eufaula, AL for the night. We were able to visit Providence Canyon the next morning and arrive in Savannah at a reasonable time.  They call Providence Canyon “the little grand canyon”. Having been to both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon, this is a stretch. However, it was a beautiful place and such a different landscape than what is typical for this area of the country. It was approximately a 7 hour drive from Memphis.
