The Scenic Drive through Little River Canyon National Preserve in Northern Alabama in the USA is an 11-mile drive on section of Highway 176 along the western rim of the canyon.
There are several beautiful scenic overlooks, picnic areas, and hiking trails, not to mention great rocks and a waterfall or two!
Mushroom Rock sits in the middle of the highway because a road crew refused to blast it and instead built the road around it.
There are lots of great rocks!
And waterfalls!
A lovely scenic drive!

I see a rock shadow :-) Now that is a cool rock! I've
never seen this mushroom rock till now, thank you
for showing these photos @melinda010100!
Very nice the road crew went around this beautiful
stone. The larger picture looks like can walk
under the mushroom? 🍄
The flat slick polished rock in the top photo looks
inviting to sit on by the waterfall, dangle the feet
over the side.

There is an opening at the bottom, but an adult would have to crawl.

I think there are a lot of places to swim in the park. I agree that the rock looks like a great place to sit on a hot day!

You reminded me of some dolmen photos I have from Portugal and France. They are old though, and may not be good enough to post. I have a couple standing stone photos, too. I must go find them now!

Ooo glad I mentioned dolmens, hope you find them! :-)
Ancient stuff is so interesting, especially the stones.
The carvings on them and what all they were used
for. Astronomy, timekeeping, navigation.
I like when you said ''I must go find them now!'' ❤

You did a fantastic job with that waterfall Mel. Love your photos. These rocks are similar to sedimentary rocks up here in Canada. The mushroom rock looks familiar....maybe there is one like that in Echo Park....I'll have to check.
Looks like a beautiful drive.

What a great place to go on the weekend and just enjoy nature! Always interesting seeing what humans choose to try and preserve by going around or building though. That rock in middle of the road is wonderful! Such amazing layers form passage of time on those rocks.

A very pretty spot. Love that the road crew refused to blast such an interesting rock formation. I wish more people were like that.
