Providence Canyon
Posted by Ellie on Wednesday Feb 9, 2011 Under TravelsOn Monday, we went to Providence Canyon State Park in South Georgia. I had never been there before. We went there and hiked. First we packed lunch into my mom’s big backpack. We meant to pack cheese, meat, and bread. Ana carried our lunch on her back all the way down into the canyon.

On the way down to the canyon floor, me, Greta, and Stella all got our feet stuck in the mud. It was mushy.
Me and Greta touched something squishy in the mud and asked what it was. Dad told us it was animal poop. We yelled.
The canyon walls are sedimentary rock.
The canyon had a lot of sedimentary rock in it. I have been learning about that in Ms. Pitt’s class this year. I saw layers in the canyon walls. I saw how lots of sediment got hardened and turned into rock.
My favorite thing in the canyon was the purple sand. We had so much fun.
