Red Bluff, Foxworth

It's a small canyon, but if you are in this area and want to do something accessible and exciting, it's worth the trip. I was amazed at how many people were walking their little kids, even a baby, around an unmaintained, sometimes dangerous trail; what were they thinking? This is not for people who were not prepared with proper boots, and a way to contact help would it arise. You shouldn't solo it down into the canyon; having a buddy is important. Leave your small ones at home.

Our favorite place in Mississippi! Looks like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon, but even more fun. You can hike, check out abandoned rail car wreckage (careful, railway is in active use), explore a creek through the bluffs, sand jump from the bluffs, climb over boulders ... So much to do! Quick day trip from the Jackson area. Our kids loved playing and exploring here! Bring bug spray in the spring/summer.
