Think you have to leave the state for an unforgettable canyon hike? Think again! Mississippi is home to its own version of the Grand Canyon, known as Red Bluff. Clearly, Red Bluff isn’t as massive as its famous counterpart, but what it lacks in size, it definitely makes up for in beauty. Take a look.

Red Bluff is located on Highway 587 in Foxworth, just north of Columbia.
