It doesn't take long for visitors to discover why Chattanooga is affectionately called the "Scenic City." Adventure enthusiasts and thrill seekers alike will find options aplenty in the Chattanooga area, whether rock climbing Cumberland Plateau and its Tennessee Wall, bouldering at Stone Fort, hang gliding with the Lookout Mountain Flight Park, or white water rafting on the nearby Ocoee River. Lookout Mountain itself, with its miles of hiking trails, hosts a slew of specialty activities that appeal to a wide variety of visitors, young and old, including: The Incline: Known as "America's Most Amazing Mile," The Incline railway puts the "fun" in funicular. The trolley-style cars climb up and down Chattanooga's famed Lookout Mountain at an incredible 72.7% grade. Once you've ascended Lookout Mountain aboard one of the world's steepest passenger railways, be sure to visit the observation tower at the top station to take in the panoramic scenic views of the city below. Numerous Civil War points of interest and Point Park are nearby, as well. Ruby Falls: Deep inside Lookout Mountain rests the the tallest underground waterfall and deepest commercial cave open to the public in the United States. Since its discovery in 1928 down a cavern trail, Ruby Falls (lovingly named after the discoverer's wife), has been one of the Southeast's favorite destinations. If you're feeling really brave, consider the after-hours specialty tour, when the cavern and its trail are illuminated with only hand-held lanterns. Rock City: Home to the legendary "See 7 States" view, where on a clear day you can see seven different states from 1,700 feet above sea level, Rock City city opened to the public in 1932. Along with shopping, dining and viewing art installations, visitors can traverse the 180-foot span of the Swing-A-Long Bridge or visit the giant rock outcropping called Lover's Leap viewpoint, which has stunning views of the Tennessee Valley.
