Little River Canyon, Alabama

Today we left Dalton and went south through some back country roads to the bottom of Little River Canyon in Alabama. I discovered this place a few years back and was wanting to get back and drive the whole route. It has some serious twisting curvy roads. When we first got on it I was sure I had made a mistake. The roads were so steep you almost needed 4 wheel drive to get up them, but it got better quickly and soon we only had sweeping........................

curvy roads.............. some



went down steep grades and other went up.......................


If you click on this picture you can see the road that follows the canyon. It is to the left of the river gorge. Quite an adventure.


The falls wasn't doing much today. I'm sure it is after a good hard rain.

This is the canyon below. The road you follow goes down on the left side and winds back to the right.





This was mushroom rock. They built the road around it.



Little River falls from a distance and then.....................

up close. There was a nice walk way to get closer to the falls.


This is the Tennessee River in Chattanooga from the Boathouse Restaurant where we had lunch

Great ending to a very gorgeous fall weekend get-a-way.
