  Chattanooga, Tennessee
Friday, March 2, 2012

What a gorgeous day; sunny and warm, not a day to be inside.

This morning we visited Rock City at Lookout Mountain, which is actually in Georgia.  These massive, ancient rock formations and gardens are truly amazing, and the views are breathtaking.  The Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village were enchanting, the nursery rhymes depicted reminding us of our childhood.

We next climbed higher up Lookout Mountain to Point Park which was built to commemorate the Battle Above the Clouds, part of the Battles of Chattanooga campaign.  From here Cliff could see lots of rail tracks and trains which he was happy to sit and watch, while I just enjoyed the sunshine.

On our way back to the campsite we decided to visit the reservoir on Raccoon Mountain, and enjoy a walk along the banks of the Tennessee River.
