Did you know that Virginia is home to its very own Grand Canyon? That’s right — the Grand Canyon of the South, otherwise known as Breaks Interstate Park, is an expansive canyon located along the Kentucky border. It’s one of the state’s most stunning natural wonders, and worth a visit no matter the time of year. In fact, you can even stay for a night or two inside a cozy lodge boasting a front-row view of this breathtaking landmark — Virginia’s Grand Canyon!

Breaks Interstate Park is a true vision to behold. Carved out over hundreds of millions of years by the Russell Fork of the Big Sandy River, this canyon is a true geological marvel.
