About Providence Canyon
This gorgeous canyon has some of the prettiest views in the entire state. With 2,706 acres of park, the canyon is a true sight to behold. Really, even photographs don’t do it justice.
Here’s something you might not know about Providence Canyon: it’s man-made. Sorta. The massive, beautiful gullies that reach up to 150 feet deep were actually caused by poor farming practices in the 1800s.
