Providence Canyon Loop Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Providence Canyon State Park seemed like an unlikely landscape for the East because of the colors within the canyon, so naturally, I had to go check it out. After hiking the short trail that tours the park from rim to floor, I realized that there were signs encouraging visitors to walk in the shallow, sandy streams that lead through tunnels of trees and into the many canyons at the base. This place has hints of southwestern desert colors mixed with southeastern humidity. The canyons are apparently caused by manmade erosion.
