It isn't often that you can photograph a soaring vulture from overhead! As we peered over the edge of the gorge in Talullah Gorge State Park in Georgia, a few Turkey Vultures were circling below our feet, just above the canyon floor. The gorge is approximately 2 miles long and almost 1,000 feet deep. Hiking trails around the gorge rim provide spectacular views. If you are physically fit enough, a hike down the hundreds of stairs into the gorge leads to a suspension bridge across the river. (https://gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge)
