Park Information

      Cloudland Canyon is a Native American spiritual site and one of the most scenic spots in the state. Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, a eroded gorge with nearly perpendicular sides falls 1,000 feet to the valley below. Hundreds and thousands of years ago, native religious leaders performed sacred ceremonies at the top of these cliffs. Quartz crystals were left as offerings to the gods and were used to collect energy. You too can collect energy from this wonderful energy node. Tylwyth Teg has used this location for a Celtic energy ritual for years.

      Once, more than 200 million years ago, a great ocean covered this land. Lookout Mountain was created by either a single earthquake, or more likely, several earthquakes. When it was first formed the entire mountain was still underwater, but slowly the water subsided, until the rim of the canyon was a beach on this ocean. As the great ocean dried Daniel Creek took over and continued eroding the rock.
