Sunday, March 2nd Tony and I was enjoying this scenic drive with many overlooks and I had to stop at everyone… For most visitors, the best way to explore Alabama’s spectacular Little Rive Canyon National Preserve is by the paved scenic road that leads along the western rim of the canyon. Canyon Rim Drive(Alabama Highway 176) connects eight overlooks along an 11 mile stretch of Little River Canyon. They provide outstanding vistas of the canyon and its natural features, as well as picnic areas, restroom facilities and interpretive displays on the natural history of the park. The drive begins near Little River Falls where Alabama Highway 35 from Fort Payne crosses the Little River. After entering the national preserve, just watch for Highway 176 leading to your right. Little River CanyonCalled the«Grand Canyon of the East,» the canyon is more than 11 miles long and up to 700 feet deep
