Chattanooga Part 2: Rock City

After Ruby Falls, we drove westward along the mountain range to another Chattanooga attraction called Rock City. Located atop Lookout Mountain, just 6 miles from downtown Chattanooga, Rock City is a true marvel of nature featuring massive ancient rock formations, gardens with over 400 native plant species, and breathtaking “See 7 States” panoramic views.

Our stroll through the Rock City garden was a quite an interesting experience.  There were narrow rocky crevaces we had to squeeze through.

There was a long wooden rope bridge similar to those in the Indiana Jones Movies which swung dangerously as if it was about to snap.

There were rocks and boulder which you could jump and climb.

All along the way there was signs pointing to the next attraction.  I followed behind Bean and Ash taking pictures of our expidition.

The grand finale was the Look Out “Lover’s Leep”.  A outward cliff which gave the panoramic views of 7 states.  The view was to die for!

We all had a great time.  It was really nice to take a road trip together and see some natural beauty.  We had a lot of laughs and plenty of fooling around through the caverns, gardens and rickety bridges.
