Thanks for sharing Sarah :) I bet it was a lot less trash down there than now. Sad a lot of Mississippians like to get drunk and throw/smash their beer bottles and cans there now. :(
The bluff was not near the road 60 years ago and we used to go down a trail on the right side. There was a picnic area on the left side of the bluff. I remember hearing the trains passing below.
Wow, sounds way different than when I visited. Does the train track there even run anymore or is it out of commission? I’ve been 3 times and not heard or seen a train come through once.
@@KamrynWalks I’m not sure if the trains still travels through there on a regular basis. I live miles south of Foxworth/Columbia and our train (which I always assumed was the same train) is no longer in service.
I wonder if that butterfly had just crawled out of a cocoon and its' wings just needed to spread out and dry. I think they try to climb up on some small twigs or such and let their wings drape down and air dry. I've never seen rain cause them to go limp like that. Just my observation. I'm not a real butterfly guy, but I've seen a few. Beautiful place you took us to. I noticed how the canyon walls were rapidly eroding and collapsing the soil from beneath tree roots, eventually swallowing them. In places an asphalt portion of the trail was half collapsed. I was hoping you guys realized you might be walking on a 6 inch thick overhang if you were anywhere near the edge...specially after a rain. I bet that place looks different from one year to the next...really beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
I never even thought about that, even when editing the video and watching back to put on here. That’s honestly a pretty good hypothesis. If there happen to be any “butterfly guys” reading this maybe they could shine some light on the most probable scenario. Thanks for taking the time and watching along, this definitely is one of the coolest yet relatively unknown/smaller places out there that I’ve been to. We went in November of 2022 here (Red Bluff, Mississippi's Grand Canyon: Surface Level th-cam.com/video/HjLWgopPfVg/w-d-xo.html) and it definitely did look a little different than when we were there in this video in April of this year. I’m sure some of our spots we walked on won’t be there next year, kinda creepy to think about now that you’ve pointed that out. 😅
I have seen 5 of these videos on Red Bluff. And yours is one of the best or maybe the best. More detailed than others. I was wanting to tell the lovely lady to watch for snakes. But One of you told her. I really enjoyed the video and will try to watch more of your videos. Thanks so much for the video.
@@davidaaaa4611 David thanks so much for that comment, truly made me happy :) Thank you for watching the videos and I appreciate you for wanting to check out more. Right now I am posting weekly but I’m about to move back to bi-weekly posts so I can keep up with editing/not get behind.
Columbia, Mississippi (Just outside of it, but that’s the nearest established city) If you type in Red Bluff Mississippi in google it will take you there. You pull off on the side of the road and walk in about a quarter mile.
Lifelong MS resident here. That red dirt is everywhere. Its the absolute worst stain to never come out of laundry. We've been there a few times. My brother and i saw it when we were kids. It looked huge back then because we were little kids. Watching your video, its a lot more grown up now with the pine trees and other plant growth. Im surprised it's not covered in kudzu by now, like a lot of eroded areas like red bluff
@@jmac77 Thanks for sharing :) It would be cool if you and your brother went out and explored it together again, today, after all these years! There is a lot of foliage out there and it’s beautiful. I’m glad no kudzu has invaded the area so far.
@@jmac77 Wow I am sorry to hear that, truly. I’m glad you were able to stumble across this video and be reminded of that memory of when ya’ll went. Honestly, thank you for sharing and again, I’m so sorry for your loss of your brother at such a young age. Sending love!
Yeah it’s definitely not a “Canyon” but that’s the nickname it has, haha. I found out that just about every state has their own miniature grand canyon.
@@KamrynWalks Then there's us in Oregon and Idaho lol: our "grand canyon" is actually deeper than the Grand Canyon (I'm referring to Hells Canyon, on the OR/Idaho border).
awesome!
I am an old lady now but my father used to bring us there when I was a child. I have great memories of Red Bluff!

The yellows remind me of the volcanic soils at Yellowstone
@@TheFretman2 I’ve never been to Yellowstone but I’m currently on a western USA year long trip so I plan to see it sometime in the next year.

Thank you! I really appreciate that haha :)
New videos every Tuesday and Thursday alternating.
Lady Bug, Beetle, on the leaf. Good bug. The Butterfly 🦋 🦋 needed water to fill its wings and some shade.
We lived 1 mile past the bluff,played in it a lot,didn’t think nothing about walking there and I know a lot has changed since the 60’s
@@williampeak8851 Wow it must’ve looked way different in the 60s.
When was the last time you visited?
@@KamrynWalks it’s been several years since I walked up there, I drive by on the way to the home place, I have family that live there!
@@williampeak8851 It’s definitely worth the trip, even just looking at it from the top road and not hiking in.
Was that old train crash
Yes, that train at the bottom somehow ran off the tracks and crashed at some point. Very wild.
It's been there since I first went 20 years ago
@@amandahankins2731 Wow, I did not know it had been there that long.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Hello. Do you know if anyone found any fossils in the canyon?
@@michaelreed4744 Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I do know that some dinosaur bones have been found in Mississippi though.
BEEN THERE ALL MY LIFE. WAY BACK AND NOW. IT TOOK IN THE OLD HIGHWAY AND THEY BUILT THE NEW ONE. AND NOW THE BLUFFS GOING TO EAT ANOTHER HIGHWAY
@@d-rayphelps1630 Haha the term “eat” in that sense made me laugh.
The bluff is pretty freaking cool, definitely worth a couple of broken highways!
Perfect place for a housing development and some supermarkets
I’d opt for a few maintained camp sites or just some trash cans at the top for people to pack out after hiking in and camping.
Dollar general is the right yellow for this area
Oh hell no
