Tennessee is known more for its hills than its mountains, though the Volunteer State does share the Great Smoky Mountain National Park with North Carolina. What some folks don’t realize, is that the state is home to one of the most incredible views in the United States. Where can you indulge in such an expansive view, you ask? Lookout Mountain. It’s another shared natural space and remains one of the best spots to visit for families looking to view their grand state from high above.
Michael Hicks - Flickr Lookout Mountain can be found just a couple of minutes from the heart of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, and it’s known throughout the state for its stunning views and natural wonders. Fun fact: Lookout Mountain is located in both Georgia and Tennessee, but the Volunteer State has significantly less land than our neighbor to the south. Get ready to state hop!
Michael Hicks - Flickr When locals think of Lookout Mountain, they’re bound to bring to mind Rock City’s famed underground waterfall, Ruby Falls, and the Incline Railway you can ride on your way upwards and onwards.
The Pug Father - Flickr From the famed “Rock City Point,” you can see a whopping seven states: Tennessee, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama.
John Getchel - Flickr There are all sorts of neat ways to experience Lookout Mountain. Chattanooga is considered one of the top getaways in the nation, and it’s a great spot for outdoor adventures and all sorts of family activities.
Jeremy Taylor - Flickr When it comes to planning your trip to Lookout Mountain, you’ll want to figure out what experiences you’re looking to have. Rock City? Ruby Falls? The Incline Railway, or maybe all three? We’d recommend the combo ticket that includes all three attractions, for $57.90 an adult, and $31.90 for each child ages 3 to 12.
Andy Montgomery - Flickr The folks at Lookout Mountain recommend that you start your day with a guided cave tour through Ruby Falls, then head to the Rock City Gardens where you can view the expanse of the world down below from Lover’s Leap. Keep in mind: Lookout Mountain is expansive. Rock City is on the Georgia side of the mountain, closer to Ruby Falls, and is well worth the trip. You don’t want to rush through this experience!
