An unexpected find,Red Bluff, more commonly known as the "microscopic Grand Canyon, and " is a rapidly eroding canyon close to Foxworth,Mississippi.
O
f course, it's called Red Bluff because the soil is vivid red and orange, or with some purple clay mixed in. The erosion that created the canyon is still active,so active in fact that the original highway had to be moved. The old one is still visible next to the canyon, though now it is barred off to prevent any cars from accidentally driving over it (and possibly deter visitors from taking photos, and though that seems to have yielded mixed results).
A hike through the canyon offers many look
out points to admire this strange landscape. And in addition to the cliffs themselves,the stream that acts as the source of the canyon's erosion is accessible. Following the stream takes you on a scenic walk through the forest, across a railroad, and ends at the nearby Pearl River. So after working up a sweat hiking through the bluffs,you can icy off by the water.
