Chattanooga is not a city in the limelight much, but it'd really be a shame not to spend some time here if you're in the vicinity of Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, or Alabama. This city has more incredible activities and family-oriented things to do than many towns triple the size. For one thing, it's a city that really emphasizes the wonders of nature abounding here. From Ruby Falls, to Lookout Mountain, to the absolutely gorgeous Gothic campus of Sewanee, the University of the South, Chattanooga is one extended medley of beauty and wonder. The attractions that Chattanooga offers will delight nature lovers and outdoors adventurers. Why not take some time out this summer to experience some of the inexpensive attractions this city is so popular for.

Rock City--what Tennessean hasn't heard of it? We used to see huge painted signs on barn roofs and above highways all around the area, "See Rock City!" Well, they're right. You really should see this area atop Lookout Mountain, right outside Chattanooga. Rock City is a park featuring walkways, paths and bridges over some magnificent rock formations that were formed millions of years ago by erosion, wind, and water. The Enchanted trail begins at the Grand Corridor, a very narrow trail through massive rock walls that loom up into the air above and into the Needle's Eye, an extremely narrow passage that sounds with eerie whistling winds blowing through. Walk a hanging bridge that's swing out into a panoramic view of mountains and valleys. There's one point on Lookout Mountain where you can look out to 7 states from the viewing platform: Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, and North and South Carolina. Lookout Mountain is all about the incredible rock formations; some are truly unbelievable.
