We recently had a chance to visit a spectacular place in northern Georgia.
It is called Look-Out Mountain and we found a cabin in Cloudland. It was
exactly like it sounds. Our cabin was built on the "Brow" (ridge) of the
mountain. The cabin overlooked the beautiful cloudy valley below and
offered spectacular sunrises from its lower deck. I find, there is nothing
more peaceful than spending a weekend with family on top of the world in the
clouds.
Just minutes from downtown Chattanooga, TN, Lookout Mountain is
the perfect
destination for out of the ordinary experiences and amazing natural beauty.
Lookout Mountain Attractions include three top rated world famous natural
attractions that showcase the natural beauty of Lookout Mountain and views
of the Chattanooga Valley. Create memories you'll treasure! Visit Lookout
Mountain, and join in on the “Lookout Mountains of Fun”! Trek through Rock
City's natural wonders and "see seven states" views, tour Ruby Falls,
America's deepest cave and largest underground waterfall accessible to the
public, and ride the Incline Railway the world's steepest passenger railway
.
Rock City will amaze you, it's in our nature. Only six miles from downtown
Chattanooga, Rock City is 1700 feet above sea level, with a 100-foot
waterfall that cascades down the mountain, and the famous Swing-A-Long
bridge that spans nearly 200 feet. This self guided tour along the brow of
Lookout Mountain gives visitors a birds eye view from high atop Lookout
Mountain. Some of Rock City's other features include the climbing wall at
Lover’s Leap where you can “See Seven States,” the birds of prey shows, Big
Rock Grill and the Fairyland Caverns. In addition Rock City hosts numerous
special events and festivals year round including; the Enchanted Maize, the
Enchanted Garden of Lights, Rocktoberfest, Shamrock City and much, much
more.
Visit Ruby Falls and see America’s deepest commercial cave and the highest,
most-visited underground waterfall. Enjoy a guided tour through this
fascinating attraction with its 145-foot waterfall, and millions of natural
geological formation. At the tours conclusion see the panoramic view from
the Lookout Mountain Tower, enjoy the newly renovated gift shops, and relax
on the mountainside deck with a snack. Ruby Falls also hosts weekly lantern
tours, and many special events like the Football at the Falls, the Haunted
Cavern and the Deck the Falls celebration. With its long, storied history,
awe-inspiring scenery, and many geological wonders, it is no wonder that
Ruby Falls is one of the Southeast’s favorite destinations. This remarkable
beauty located deep inside Lookout Mountain has been a shared memory for
generations of travelers to and through the Chattanooga area.
This is an incredible place and everyone should go there at least once.
