    They are telling a lie. The canyon has Ben around for thousands of yrs and was doing just fine we could camp fish spend the night sit around a camp fire it was great before the state took it over. Now we have to pay to go to the park can't spend the nite can't sit around a camp fire. And no one wanted the state to take it over we sign petitions to try to stop the state from stepping in but of course they did any way. If I park on the grass they write u a ticket. I never go down there anymore. Wish it was the way it was before the state step in

    I love these uploads by Discovering Alabama. I love the geological history of our planet, our country, and this amazing state we call home. I live in the Shoals, born and raised. I've always been interested in being able to find a time lapsed map of the landscape of Alabama, how it all looked nearly a billion years ago, with how rain, wind, earthquakes, impacts from meteors, sea level rise, sea level decline, etc. All had a part in how the landscape of Alabama changed. To be able to see something like AI generated time lapse of how the coastlines changed over and over. How the Appalachian mountains were more like the Himalayas, or at least the Rocky mountains. To see how those high mountain peaks slowly weathered and drained dirt and rock, all the sediment down the tributaries of the Tennessee river, the Alabama river, the Coosa, Tallapoosa, the Warrior, Elk, Flint, etc. witness how my area changed over that time. What the Muscle Shoals rapids looked like when the Tennessee river was but a wee lil river lol. How we have foot hills all around us here in the Shoals, such as Lagrange Mt, Colbert Mt, Hawk Pride Mt, 1,000 ft high hills south of Russellville. How those became what they are. How often was this area close to being a summertime beach area lol. It would be awesome to see a time-lapse of the United States, and the Earth with a detailed span of a billion years or so. But just to see Alabama would make my heart glow lol. Love the uploads and thanks.
