The longer days encourage us to enjoy the simple pleasures summer brings and step outside to enjoy the abundant beauty that surrounds us. Through warm rays of sun or steady drops of rain, the natural wonders of Chattanooga are on display with rolling mountains, subterranean caves, and winding streams and rivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;11px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great place to experience the breathtaking landscape is from the top of Lookout Mountain Tower at Ruby Falls. Showcasing sweeping views of the Cumberland Plateau and Tennessee River, this vantage point simply cannot be beat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for an adrenaline boost, capture the epic scenery while soaring through the treetops on a zip line at Ruby Falls High Point ZIP Adventure. This separately ticketed attraction for beginner and experienced thrill-seekers includes a 40-foot climbing tower with multiple routes of varying difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most intriguing sights at Ruby Falls can be discovered by descending 260 feet on a glass-front elevator to explore a cave deep in the heart of Lookout Mountain! The Cave Walk adventure features the awe-inspiring, thundering underground waterfall, highlighted by a captivating light show and ancient geological formations along the cavern trail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun facts\u2026The temperature inside the cave is 60 degrees year-round, making it a perfect escape from the summer heat; rainfall increases the flow of the waterfall, meaning rainy days are a terrific time to visit; and access to Lookout Mountain Tower is always included with your cave adventure ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a special summer treat, plan to dine at the Castle Caf\u00e9, located in the historic limestone castle at Ruby Falls. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the caf\u00e9 offers flatbread pizzas, wraps, sandwiches, salads, desserts, and local craft beer on tap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning your visit to Ruby Falls is easy with timed-entry tickets sold online. To avoid missing out on cave adventures, purchase your tickets before you arrive, as they tend to sell out in advance during the summer. Don\u2019t forget; reservations are required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit RubyFalls.com to plan your trip and purchase tickets.
