Geology Picture of the Week, February 26-March 4, 2006: Grand Gulf, Missouri
Missouri Resources ^ | Winter 2002-2003 | Cheryl Seeger

I read about Grand Gulf, Missouri in a recent "Natural History" magazine, and I admit to a minor fascination with small state-park size canyons and gulches and runs, typified by such places as Turkey Run in Indiana; Letchworth State Park (not so small) in New York; and the Flume in Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire -- places I've been to. This appears to be another interesting one that I've not been to. So here's a few pictures of Grand Gulf. I was away from my computer all last week and couldn't post my weekly "feature". The pictures are from various sources; the source article describes the place well.

Watkins Glen, yes; and I've been to Rochester (same trip that I visited Letchworth) but I don't remember the River gorge.

Old Mans Cave in Ohio has some very interesting sites if you are in the area.

I know I could Google it, but what part of Ohio is it in?
