Lookout Mountain's natural wonders
You'll be struck by Lookout Mountain's natural spectacle as soon as you set foot on its slopes, but some of its most mesmerizing sights are hidden from view. Ruby Falls is a jaw-dropping, 145-foot underground waterfall, the largest in North America. Half the thrill is traversing a deep cavern full of surreal rock formations to reach it. Meanwhile Skyuka Spring, which gushes from between two large boulders and is named after a Cherokee chief, is concealed by a covering of lush, fragrant forest. As you hike towards it, you might spot darting deer, gobbling wild turkeys or even an elusive coyote.
