Little River Canyon Ride

[BamaJohn]

I went over to N. Georgia to ride and wound up in Alabama... go figure!

The Little River Canyon National Preserve in NE Alabama is the tail of the Appalachian Mountains, running along the top of Lookout Mountain near Ft Payne AL.
Some say it's the nation's longest river running on top of a mountain;
It's part of the Cumberland Plateau, and historically-called "May's Gulf".

I see Little River Falls in the distance. Alabama 176 runs along the river on top of the canyon with lots turnouts to check out the views. Great riding and great views.

The wife and I got out yesterday for her first long (2 hour) ride in two years. Made the loop up through Tennessee on 231 to 64 thru Huntland and down TN 97 to AL 65, then 72 and back up to Hazel Green. We will likely head over to Little River after the next cold snap passes through. Have not been there in a while. Almost completed the break in of the RTL, just 70 miles left.
