We stayed the night in Chattanooga. In the morning we headed to Ruby
Falls. I have seen the signs for Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain so
many times in my life on drives to Florida or trips to the Smokey
Mountains. I had no idea the falls were 1100 feet underground
literally within Lookout Mountain. You start the trip by taking an
elevator down into the mountain. The cave has no natural openings so
it was only found when Leo Lambert started drilling to get to Lookout
Mountain Cave. That cave was used by both the North and the South
during the civil war for a variety of reasons including a hospital.
Ruby Falls Cave ended up being far more scenic and popular than the
Lookout Mountain Cave.
