Canyoneering

Paul Sullivan says “all the great canyons aren’t west of the Mississippi. There are some nearby as well.” I could not agree more.
Of particular importance, though, Sullivan said this about his recent trip to Dickenson County’s Breaks Interstate Park.
Oh, and anyone who thinks all the great canyons lie west of the Mississippi or in the Southwest–think again.
Just a few months ago, for instance, on a quick trip to Southwest Virginia, I stood on an overlook peering into the depths of the great gorge at Breaks Interstate Park, on the Kentucky-Virginia state line. It may not be a canyon in name, but a canyon it is for sure. Impressive, too.
Maybe I am bias, but I would take the Breaks over the Grand Canyon any day. 
Here too.
