I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
The most famous canyon in America and the world happens to be the Grand Canyon. It is, after all, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. But Virginia has its very own canyon, and you could say that it rivals the one found in Arizona. Touting gorgeous scenery, a visit to Breaks Interstate Park’s canyon, a natural wonder in Virginia, is a must.
Breaks Interstate Park is a 4,500-acre park that straddles the Virginia/Kentucky state line. It's one of very few bi-state parks in the country.
Find a scenic overlook in the park to marvel at the outstanding beauty you'll find here. Who needs to go see the Grand Canyon when we have Breaks Canyon right here in Virginia?
Aside from the canyon, there are plenty of other things to see and do within the park. Between camping, fishing and boating on the fork, and viewing all the flora and fauna, you'll want to spend as much time here as possible.
You can also take a more adventurous approach to view the canyon. Why not fly through Breaks Canyon with Canyon Rim Zipline Tours? It will be an experience you won't soon forget!
