S pring is often considered a season of rebirth or renewal. Here in Chattanooga, we can see that renewal happen visibly, as the light-green growth of newly sprouting leaves and vegetation slowly begin creeping up the sides of the ridges and mountains. We are blessed in Chattanooga with abundant natural beauty all around us. From high above on Lookout and Signal Mountains, to the winding Tennessee River Gorge and area streams, there is so much to see and expe rience. And most of these inspiring wonders are easily accessible from the comfort and convenience of our area hotels. While you are here, take time to enjoy Chattanooga’s Spring Season. Get out and explore the outdoors, on the mountains and ridges, along the trails and byways, on or along the rivers and streams, at one of our attractions or parks, even inside one of the world-class museums or the aquarium. Explore all that the Chattanooga area has to offer. I hope that Explore Magazine and our maps, along with our friendly locals will be your guide to a wonderful and revitalizing visit.
