Rock City – May 8, 2017

Since we weren’t expecting to be in Chattanooga, TN we hadn’t really looked into things to do in the area.  We aren’t really the type to do a bunch of touristy things…. but sometimes when in Rome…

The campground happens to be very close to Lookout Mountain – which boasts several attractions including a place called Rock City.  It looked pretty cool – so we decided to check it out – plus every time I saw the name “Rock City” I could hear KISS singing “Detroit Rock City” in my mind…

We were expecting a small state park-like area with a parking lot and maybe a wooded trail.  Not so fast my friend…. this was more like a small-scale Disneyland.  A little confusing, more than a little expensive.  But when they say you can see 7 states from the overlook, who can refuse?

I have to admit it was pretty cool – the view was pretty awesome.  And did I mention the weather has been freaking amazing for the past few days?

Here are Darryl and I at a section of the path called “Fatman’s Squeeze.”  I’m guessing they named it that a LONGGGGGGG time ago….just a wee bit political incorrect, no?

Sometimes even a tourist trap can be pretty impressive.
