Good food in large portions. Breakfasts and salads are amazing. But it is best known for desserts, which are on display when you arrive. It's at a Days Inn so you may need to look for parking but we always find it! Open 24/7.

Bring your own wine or beer to this restaurant near Cloudland Canyon State Park on Lookout Mountain. It is a real find for upscale food in a rural setting. Scenic Hwy is aptly named and worth the drive.

Parks & Nature
A real canyon, 60 miles of well-maintained hiking trails, mountain bike rental available, waterfalls, major views from atop Lookout Mountain as it moves into GA on the way to AL. (Yes, it goes that far) My favorite Park in the area. Get there on Scenic Hwy and you will have another sight on the trip. $5 per car.

Actually part of the Chickamauga Battlefield National Park, it is the only Civil War Park that recognizes both the Union and Confederacy. It is where the Battle Above the Clouds was fought. It overlooks Moccasin Bend on the Tennessee River. That area is also part of the Trail of Tears when Native Americans were driven out.

Sightseeing
Tennessee Riverwalk
Tennessee RiverwalkThe is the steepest incline rail in the country. It is how people traveled to get to their pricey homes on top of Lookout Mountain tarting in 1887. It's worth a ride, and it is in the same area as Point Park (which has a good movie at the visitors center btw) and near Rock City and Ruby Falls.

No kidding: on a clear day, you can see 7 states from the lookout area! There is a really cute village for kids to explore. It is amazing in ways you may not expect. Waterfall, rocks so big that many buildings are smaller. Concerts fairly often. It is a bit pricey, though.

This started as a fresh water museum with local species, but is now a major aquarium with a second salt water aquarium! There is also a butterfly garden and an outdoor area with a waterfall down steps that you can climb while looking at the river. That area acknowledges the Cherokee history in Chattanooga. The folks from Atlanta come visit US! ;-)
