Why you should go…

Rock City sits atop Lookout Mountain, 1,700 feet above sea level, and has been open to the public since 1932. You take a self-guided walk of about 4,100 feet through gardens and huge rock formations, across the Swing-A-Long bridge to Lover's Leap, where a 100-foot waterfall drops and a plaque invites you to see seven states. Fairyland Caverns adds blacklight-lit sculptures. Its "See Rock City" barn ads were once painted in 19 states.
