Ranger-Led Hike On Lookout Mountain Will Be Nov. 4

  • Friday, October 20, 2017

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will conduct a four-mile, ranger-guided hike on Lookout Mountain beginning and ending at the historic Cravens House, at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Each year, thousands of people escape the bustling city of Chattanooga to hike through the quiet forests of Lookout Mountain Battlefield. However, these quiet woods were once bustling with human activity, and upon close inspection, modern hikers can still find traces of our past along the trails.

Join us as we explore the history of Lookout Mountain on this ranger-guided hike along the Hardy, Mountain Beautiful, Bluff, and Cravens House Trails.

This four-mile hike will cover nearly 600 feet of elevation change over rocky and uneven terrain. Participants should dress appropriately for the weather, wear supportive footwear, bring water, and are encouraged to bring a day pack and light trail snacks.
