Little River Canyon - Video

Project to test new gear that I shot at Little River Canyon which is located in northeast Alabama just east of Fort Payne. This river is one of the nation's longest rivers that flows across a mountain top. It changes elevation from 1900 feet above sea level to 650, creating a spectacular gorge system. Best viewed in HD and full screen mode.

    The Rhododendron blooming makes me think this was late April or May?? Or was this taken over several different visits?

    Great video. We have been there, and our response was "what is this doing here in Alabama?" It is pretty amazing, though it is not near the scale of the Grand Canyon, etc. Having said that, if you are the type that likes to touch a tree, hear the wind, feel waterfall spray on your face, put your hand in the cool water, listen to the gentle sounds of nature, you just might enjoy the place MORE than Grand Canyon.

    We camp at Desoto every year. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the south. Lots of good hiking, kayaking if you have the guts to go down the gorge and mtn bike trails. The views from the top are outstanding and the road along the rim is a fun drive. Many waterfalls during the rainy season.
