Let’s preface this by saying – we’re sorry in advance for who this post is going to offend. But Georgia has a canyon that rivals all others. Do we think the Grand Canyon is a delightful gem with endless and bountiful beauty? Of course. But do we think that Georgia’s Cloudland Canyon has some of the most underrated magic in the United States? 100 percent. In case you need a refresher on just how majestic this canyon is, we have you covered.

When you think of the word canyon, you might picture jagged, dry, autumnal colors with crevices that stretch thousands of feet into the sky. But Cloudland Canyon in Georgia is a slightly different type of canyon.
