After having finally arrived in Chattanooga Tennessee, we made our way to the hotel and got some much needed rest. When the morning of the 12th arrived we headed out for our next big adventure. This day was to be one our children would never forget (and I'm pretty sure they won't).
Our first stop of the day was a place called Rock City Georgia. If you ever have the chance to get out there and check it out, you definitely should. It is beautiful! We ended up spending several hours exploring the twists and turns along and through the many different passes these amazing bluffs had to offer.

Along these pathways there are some amazing views, beautiful trees and almost too much too take in in one day. The swinging bridge pictured below is one of the alternate paths that can be taken to a scenic lookout area (Yes I faced my fear of heights and crossed over it although it took nearly everything in me to get it done). For those who are afraid of heights, there is a stone bridge that gives you an alternate route to the other side.

This area also features some beautiful trees. The picture below is of one of the trees I found to be a photo worthy specimen.

After we had finished exploring all the nooks and crannies in Rock City, we headed to our next destination - Ruby Falls. If you are like me and enjoy a good cave, this is another place worth visiting. There are many different formations inside of this amazing cave and yes I had my camera with me to capture many of them.

Some of the various formations have been named after our favorite foods such as the one below.

Of course every outdoorsman loves fish. I'm no exception to this rule so when I saw the formation below, I had to capture it with my camera.

At the halfway point on your journey through the cave you will come upon a natural wonder that is awe inspiring. The photo below is one of many pictures I snapped of the waterfall for which this cave is named.....Ruby Falls.

After viewing the waterfall, we headed back to the elevator that had lowered us into this cavern for our 260 foot return trip to the surface and headed on our way to the next stopping point of this vacation....Memphis. Why Memphis you ask? Well I guess you'll have to check out the next post to see what could possibly attract a sportsman to such a crazy city.
- Any day in the outdoors is a good day
