Explore Chattanooga Summer 2022

Spotlight | WHAT TO SEE

T here is only one place where you can travel deep inside a mountain to see the tallest underground waterfall open to the public in the United States, see forever from the top of a castle tower, soar through the treetops on rushing zip lines, and grab a bite to eat in a historic Chattanooga dining spot. You can experi ence it all this summer at Ruby Falls on Lookout Mountain. Ruby Falls offers multiple cave adventure options. Looking for a faster-pace, family-friendly cave adventure? Reserve tickets for the timed-entry one-mile guided Cave Walk, featuring a general overview of the cave’s history, the breathtaking lightshow at the thundering underground waterfall and ancient geological forma tions along the narrow cavern trail.

For a more in-depth, smaller group cave tour with a relaxed pace designed for history-loving explorers, check out the GentleWalking Tour. Senior-level guides lead this early-access tour that includes extra time at the waterfall after the lightshow and plenty the slower pace. Maybe it’s more your speed to explore after-hours when the underground cave and waterfall are lit only by hand-held lanterns. Popular Lantern Tours feature a limited number of participants and often sell out weeks in advance. Keep in mind, if you want to take your kids on a Lantern Tour, they must be at least 5 years old. All tickets are timed entry and sold online, which makes it easy to plan your day. No matter which cave adventure you choose, be sure to get your tickets before you arrive as tours often sell out in
