 The world's most exciting mile |
827 East Brow Road Lookout Mountain Chattanooga, TN 37350 United States +1 423 821 4221 http://www.lookoutmtnattractio... |
Long ago the only way to reach the top of Lookout Mountain was via this mile-long railroad. Today, it is still a popular way to ascend the heights, but by tourists, not residents. The ride aboard the original rail cars provides a gorgeous view of the valley below and the ridge above. An informative narration along the ride tells the history of both the mountain and the railway. Fresh squeezed lemonade, tasty fudge and a gift shop are inside the station at the top. Once you are finished shopping, you're ready to visit a number of Lookout Mountain attractions including Rock City, Ruby Falls or Point Park. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Public golf, historic land |
381 Moccasin Bend Road Chattanooga, TN 37405 United States +1 423 267 3585 |
Long before the first European settlers came to this area, Moccasin Bend was the home of the Cherokee people. Here they held council and made the decisions that governed their tribes. Today, Moccasin Bend is a protected wilderness and home to the area's most popular public golf course. Only minutes from downtown, it is the perfect choice for golfers who want to get 18 in before heading home for the night. The low greens fees (around $12) and challenging fairways (boy are they tight) attracts both novice and experienced players. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Spectacular views and historical news |
1 East Brow Road Chattanooga, TN 37350 United States +1 423 821 7786 |
During the United States Civil War the Confederate armies of Chattanooga used the East Brow of Lookout Mountain as their lookout point. The panoramic view of the valley gave the Confederates an advantage over any approaching Union Army. However, during the bloody battle for Chattanooga, the northern troops waited for the clouds to fall upon the point and advanced under the cloud cover. Before the Southern troops knew what was happening, their fate was sealed. This park and museum commemorates this struggle for visual superiority. The Confederates were defeated and the post captured, but it was a valiant battle now known as the Battle Above the Clouds. Admission to the park is $2. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rock City is a beautiful collection of gardens atop Lookout Mountain providing stunning views of the city and profound solace from the busy world below. One of many popular sites above the mountain, this attraction offers thrills at a swinging bridge, chills at the edge of Lovers' Leap and spills inside Mother Goose's Nursery for kids. Trails lead through Fat Man's Squeeze (you better work out before you come here) to the scenic overlook where you can see Seven States (you'll just have to come see how they pull that one off). Admission rates are: $11.95 for adults; $6.50 for children. Free parking is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
