We continue to slowly venture out a little further when we get the time. We decided to go hit another set of trails we heard about and headed South to Chattanooga. We parked our car at Craven's House and hiked around the Western ridge and up the back of Lookout Mountain.
It actually was the toughest hike we've been on recently but the views once approaching the top were worth it. The entire area is actually right in the middle of where the
Chattanooga Campaign of the Civil War took place.
While we went up on a pretty clear day, there are quite a few times during the year where visibility is very low and you'd be engulfed in fog. One of the famous battles that took place at the peak of the trail is to this day called the "Battle Above the Clouds".
Whether Jolene admits she enjoyed the history or not... the time outside of the city and the fresh air was worth it.
