Heavenly hikes up Lookout Mountain

There's an abundance of scenic hiking trails to explore, from beginner-friendly to more challenging.

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.
