Chattanooga, Tennessee is a city set along the Tennessee River in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Chattanooga is filled with all kinds of adventures like the Incline Railway, Ruby Falls, Rock City, the aquarium, and tons of Civil War battlefields. However, my favorite thing to do in Chattanooga is hike all the beautiful trails. As Shakespeare says, "The earth has music for those who listen." and this is especially true in Chattanooga. No matter where you go you have a breathtaking view. Do not believe me? Just check out these amazing trails in person.
