 | Ruby Falls 1720 South Scenic Highway Chattanooga, TN 37409 423-821-2544 http://www.rubyfalls.com/ Ruby Falls begins with the original Lookout Mountain Cave, whose natural entrance is located at the foot of Lookout Mountain on the banks of the Tennessee River. In 1905, the Lookout Mountain Cave was completely shut off to the public because the Southern Railroad Company was forced to construct a tunnel for one of its lines. In 1923, an elevator shaft from another point on the mountain to access the cave was devised. Work on this feat of engineering began in the fall of 1928. On December 28, 1928, a worker operating a jackhammer discovered an opening of 18 inches high and five feet wide. A small crew entered this opening of the new found cave. They discovered a number of unusual and beautiful rock formations, flowing passages and several stream beds. Deeper with-in the cave, they finally reached its marvelous jewel, the waterfall. Everyone in the crew were awestruck by its magnificence and beauty. It was decided to develop both the Lookout Mountain Cave and the new found Ruby Falls Cave offering tours to the public. From 1930 to 1935, tours were offered to both caves but in 1935 the Lookout Mountain cave was closed to the public. And The Ruby Falls Cave has been open to the public ever since and has hosted millions of visitors during its long storied history. |
 | Raccoon Mountain Caverns 319 West Hills Drive Chattanooga, TN 37419 423-821-9403 or 800-823-2267 http://www.raccoonmountain.com/ Raccoon Mountain Caverns is an exceptionally well preserved cave and contains more formations than any other cave in the South. Wild Cave Expeditions are tours through the remote areas of our interlocking network of undeveloped portions of the cave where there are no designated trails, handrails, or electric lights. Participants on these guided tours are required to wear helmets, lights, pads, and gloves -- all of which are provided for your use. These tours are regarded by many as the most challenging and rigorous cave tours in the country! |
