Gorge!!!


What is a Gorge???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, A gorge, is a deep valley between cliffs often carved from the landscape by a river. Most canyons were formed by a process of long-time erosion from a plateaus level. The cliffs form because harder rock strata that are resistant to erosion and weathering remain exposed on the valley walls.
