Lookout Mountain Attractions - Battles for Chattanooga

Tuesday, September 26, 2017

There are so many things to do in Chattanooga, and hiking at Point Park is one of them. This Park offers the most stunning view of downtown Chattanooga and the Tennessee River. Officially known as Lookout Mountain Battlefield. Point Park is part of the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park. It was a beautiful park, full of history that renewed my interest in the Civil War.

You have to pay admission the $5 per person admission is good for 7 days, so if you're here for a weekend or a week you don't have to pay every time you visit.

Visit Lookout Mountain Georgia

Saturday, August 24, 2013

My husband and I loves traveling to Gatlinburg, TN and everyone we talked to said we just had to take a detour to Chattanooga (or Lookout Mountain) and we did. We really enjoyed the walking trails and seeing the beautiful scenery. The trails, gardens, waterfall, and natural structures were amazing. We spend the whole day in hiking. When we reach the top, there is an observation deck for more great views. Follow the park around and you will see the other side of the mountain views, just beautiful. I loved that they've kept the mountain so clean and accessible.

Lover's Leap at Lookout Mountain Georgia . According to folklore, a young Indian couple fell in love but could not be together because they belonged to tribes that were at war with each other. They leap to their deaths from this ledge in despair. A very sad story for this beautiful scenery.

Rock City Gardens | Chattanooga's Iconic Attraction

Friday, August 2, 2013

Now I know where all those See Rock City birdhouses come from! We visited Rock City for the first time. This is an attraction taking advantage of nature's rock formations and adding landscaping, stone bridge and walking paths. This is a self guided walking tour of some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. You enter The Enchanted Trail passing beautiful gardens with an array of seasonal flowers and trees. The stone artworks (massive formations) includes a garden of piled up pebbles, a rock shaped like a mushroom, and statues along the way. The music as you go along the trail is very relaxing too. If you like lookout points, valleys, and waterfalls, you should probably see Rock City.
