Ruby Falls:
The Falls are located at the end of the main passage of Ruby Falls Cave, in a large vertical shaft. The stream, 1120 feet underground, is fed both by rainwater and natural springs. It collects in a pool in the cave floor and then continues through the mountain until finally joining the Tennessee River at the base of Lookout Mountain. It take 2-3hrs to visit the falls inside. We have to walk long and watch out our head if we are tall. The next destination was Rocky hills
Rock City:
Rock City claims that it is possible to see seven states from Lover's Leap, a point in Rock City, but this has not been proven.
Rock City features a long, convoluted rock trail lined with gardens containing hundreds of labelled local trees and plants. The trail also leads through a variety of unique and bizarre rock formations, including the 1,000 short tons (910 t) Balanced Rock and Fat Man's Squeeze. Two other sections, the Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village, are rock caves decorated with blacklight-responsive sculptures.
Incline train:
The Incline Railway opened on November 16, 1895, and was the second of two inclines constructed on Lookout Mountain; the first was the Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain Railway, which operated from 1886 to 1898. The railway is now operated by the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority, the area's public transit agency.
I personally didn't like it because its just an experience and they make you to wait long to come back once they drop you down. The two trains operate on each track for every 15 mins and whenever one train comes up other go down. They have huge iron cable rope tie each end of trains. They ask you to get down once you reach down and you have to wait in hot sun till the other train comes. For us it took almost 1:45hrs to get back to top by another train.
