While we are huge fans of visiting national parks, we have some budget-friendly and convenient state parks closer to home:
1. Providence Canyon State Park for Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Located in Lumpkin, Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon has hiking trails, campsites and some steep gulleys up to 150 feet deep.
2. Tallulah Gorge State Park for New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. When you’re up for a challenge, head to the two-mile trail with 1,099 steps that takes you 1,000 feet down into Tallulah Gorge. A suspension bridge has amazing views of this state park in North Georgia.
