I was looking for somewhere beautiful to get a panorama of Chattanooga (+ more) from an awesome vantage point, and I found this spot on Google. It's a bit of a winding drive to eventually arrive to the site, and when you do, parking is extremely limited. It's either you got luck or God on your side, to park right where the "rock" is, but I was very fortunate. The steps are very large and irregular getting to the actual "site", and if you are not fit --- just go slow. However, once you arrive --- it's like heaven. A view from the heavens overseeing the Tennessee River Gorge, Prentice Cooper State Forest, and valleys. Spending 20-30 minutes after getting up their will clear your mind. A view that you should not pass up!

Claustrophobic people please read :…read more I am extremely claustrophobic, and I was very worried about doing this tour, but I really wanted to see it badly. I booked an 8:10 AM slot on a weekday morning. There was only 12 people in my group, and there was only one group in front of us. I did not feel claustrophobic. I felt that there was plenty of air in the caves, and the air was cool, so it's not like you felt clammy. The air is usually around 60° all year The elevator ride down, there was only four people in the elevator, so that was very easy. It was probably maybe a 45 second elevator ride. If you're claustrophobic and you want to do this, I feel you will be OK. Just pick a non-busy time. They said the 8 o'clock and the 8:30s are more busy than the 8:10 or 8:20 appointments. She also said weekends and the summers are busier. I would 100% probably feel claustrophobic if there the full size groups, which they do in max of 45 people, and if they were doing them every 10 minutes, I would feel extremely claustrophobic in that cave. Now, about the cave. Very cool, very scenic, very interesting. I've never been in a cave before. Tall people do have to watch out for their head. Our guide walked pretty slow, so I don't feel that that would be a hindrance to anybody that had mobility issues. There was some stairs and uneven walkways, but you're in a cave. The waterfall was very pretty, but honestly I think it was such a hike that I thought it was going to be a little better than what it was. But it is a very pretty tall waterfall underground, and they do a little light show for you they give you about five minutes to take pictures and everything like that down at the waterfall, and then you turn around and you go back and the whole thing takes about an If you're here, I highly recommend doing it. It's something you're never gonna see again

We enjoyed the tour down into the cavern. Our tour guide Michael was funny, easy to understand, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy his job.

Stringers Ridge was one of them so my fur friend and I headed that way yesterday just before noon. We enjoyed exploring the part of the area at the parking lot level, leaving the main trail for a week day when it may be less populated. The parking lot looked like it could hold about 10 cars. There's a smaller loop trail on one side of the parking lot. We saw beautiful views of the Fall leaves on all the trees and blue sky. The entrance plaque is an art piece. There's a couple benches and a picnic table to relax by. And plenty of new forestry smells for my beagle lady to explore. A great outdoor experience overall. We'll be back.

They have covered all the details you normally would handle or research yourself, especially if you're from out of state like myself. If you don't have a vehicle or don't want to drive, pick up and drop off is included in the price. As long as you're staying in Downtown Chattanooga. An assortment of pre-packaged snacks & bottles of water are provided. They carry them while you hike so you don't need to! The bonus? They take professional photos of you on the hike to commemorate you & your group in action & posing! They have a quick turnaround also with access to your edited picture gallery. So no timer settings on cameras or one person out of the group pics! Oh! Best of all? The group hike is private! You won't have any randos with you! I had an awesome time! Communication was excellent from the time I inquired about booking a hike all the way through the end! They are highly responsive! I received confirmation via email & text. However, when I had questions I texted directly and a couple of days before the hike and the morning of the hike they sent me texts for updates. A waiver is required to be signed the day of the hike in person. Bug spray was provided prior to our hike. I chose to do the Soul therapy hike for my birthday because it offers a variety of scenery. It was one of my favorite hikes I've done over the years. It ranged from views above the falls down to close up views touching the water. Although, you can take a super short cut to the falls, it is still a steep path down into the gorge. We took the longer trail which is even more scenic involving various beautiful views and overlooks, tall walls of sandstone and one major steep descent of rocks into the gorge which requires a lot of careful footing placement & maybe 1-2 areas ( the rock wall or a random tree trunk) to hold onto for balance. Honestly, if I didn't have Hope & Ryan as guides and I was doing the hike on my own with just friends, I probably would have taken one look down that steep of a sea of rocks and said let's go another way. Hahaha.. But Hope was leading and offered her arm as balance support if needed, which I took a few times. Slow & steady my friends. Along the way, we also crossed two cool bridges as well. The falls were pretty and kind of reminded me of the Salto do Prego waterfall in Sao Miguel. It was a wonderful time with Hope & Ryan where we were able to learn about the area, the wildflowers and rest on the way back to our hotel in their nice, clean , comfortable and AC SUV while snacking on the way back & having good conversation. They also provide some coupons to local restaurants and shops, & an EXPERIENCE CHATTANOOGA sticker. They were kind enough to accommodate picking us up last minute at a local breakfast place that we had walked to from our hotel since, it was close to our pick up time. We really appreciated it! They offer many different hikes and different levels. If I had been there a whole week, I would have probably booked the all day waterfalls tour and the alpaca farm & coffee tour too! Be sure to check out their website! They provide in depth descriptions of their different hikes. Also, some hikes are only done certain days of the week so make sure to check for their availability! Military discounts & discounts for groups over a certain number are offered. Just be sure to mention it to them prior to payment.
