In other words, the tallest and deepest underground cave waterfall in the U.S. open to the public, Ruby Falls, is located inside Lookout Mountain, the main gem of the area.
The city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, South, is popular for its rock climbing, biking, and hiking locations.

Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain are waiting to be rediscovered by you. Dive into the world of beauty of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The journey begins with a glass-fronted freight elevator diving 26 stories down this mountain’s heart. On the ground, visitors will be greeted with a variety of formations and formations, antique stalactites and stalagmites, and the falls themselves, a silent, tranquil, and stable waterfall 1,120 feet underground in Lookout Mountain.
Since the cavern is an integrated area, the main goal is to ensure visitor safety and the cavern, which is why all falls’ visits must be led. The very same Cave Walk tour is a fans’ favorite, which is a brisk trip through the cavern to the waterfall with audio subtitles.
