Lookout Mountain
Nearly as familiar as the Choo Choo is the little red barn with the words 'See Rock City' painted on its roof. Appearing all over the United States, these painted barns have proven to be effective advertising campaigns for more than five decades. Rock City is a beautiful collection of gardens atop Lookout Mountain that provides stunning views of the city and a break from the busy world below. Rock City is one of many popular sites atop the mountain. Ruby Falls is an underground waterfall located half a mile below the surface of the mountain; the walking tour to the falls offers a beautiful look inside one of the largest caverns in the Southeast. Point Park is the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the United States Civil War. Northern armies crept up the mountain under the cover of clouds and engaged the Confederate soldiers in a tremendous battle for the "lookout" point of the Chattanooga armies. For a non-traditional ascent of the mountain, ride the Incline Railway, which offers a mile-long trip aboard an antique rail car that traveling along the eastern incline of the mountain.Attractions
