Rock City Gardens is comprised of a 4100-foot walking trail situated at the top of Lookout Mountain near the Georgia and Tennessee border. The Enchanted Trail combines nature with quirky attractions, and as you stroll through this fairytale-like world, you’ll marvel at majestic waterfalls, geological wonders, botanical gardens, art exhibits, caves,...
Planning a trip to Rock City can be a bit confusing because the park almost straddles two states. While following entrance signs up the mountain, we crossed state lines from Georgia to Tennessee and then back to Georgia again all within the span of about three or four minutes. At the top of the mountain, we were once again in Georgia, and Rock City...
One of the first obstacles you’ll encounter on the mountaintop trail is the Needle’s Eye. We imagine it gets its name from its likeness to threading a needle. To continue along the trail, you must squeeze through its narrow crevice and emerge on the other side of the large, twin boulders that obstruct your path.
To reach the waterfall, you’ll have to traverse the Swing-a-Long Bridge. This wibbly, wobbly, suspension bridge spans nearly 200 feet and sways with your steps as you trod across it. If you’re afraid of heights (*cough* me *cough*), then you might want to take it slow, but that’ll just give you more time to admire the stunning views of Chattanooga ...
This picture-perfect waterfall is 90 feet tall and provides breathtaking views whether you opt for a summer hike, a winter trek, or anything in between. It’s one of my favorite waterfalls in the world. And it’s by far one of the biggest highlights of any trip to Rock City Gardens.
Situated just atop High Falls on the jut of rock protruding out from the side of Lookout Mountain, Lover’s Leap is perhaps the most famous landmark at Rock City Gardens. A Cherokee legend tells the tale of two young lovers from feuding tribes. When a brave named Sautee was captured and thrown off the top of the cliff in this very spot, the beautifu...
On a clear day, while standing on Lover’s Leap, you can see seven states from the top of Rock City. Of course, that meant that it rained on the day we hiked to the summit, so we mostly just saw a whole-lotta fog and drizzle, but standing there was incredibly exciting nonetheless.
In this delightful little tunnel, colored windows cast a rainbow of colors on the opposite wall, making you wonder if unicorns will soon come galloping down the beaming lights before disappearing into a glittery puff of soft clouds and twinkling stars. It’s that magical.
I never expected to come across an entrance to a cave at the TOP of a mountain, and that’s part of this place’s charm. The other part is owed to the fact that there are fairies inside. Hundreds of fairies and sparkly, shiny things. And it’s oh-so-enchanting. And gloriously weird.
What goes up must come back down. Completing the full-circuit trail at Rock City means that, sooner or later, after climbing to the top of Lover’s Leap and High Falls waterfall, you’ll have to begin your descent back to where your hike first began. If you continue following the loop, it will take you down through Fat Man’s Squeeze. And this was pro...
