Lookout Mountain 12.7.19

The day began a little cold, in the 40’s, as we started our hike up Lookout Mountain on the Kiddie Trail.  Ascending to Sunset Rock we warmed up and shed our hats and mittens.  The view from the Rock was outstanding-blue sky, Lookout and Chattanooga valleys, pine trees, yucca plants and of course rocks.  After a snack we descended the rock stairway to follow the Bluff Tail South to the Junction of the Ochs Gateway Tail.  A rest and lunch along the bluff, then we retraced our steps back to the Garden parking lot.  The Trail was 9.78 miles with a total ascent of 1700 feet, a beautiful walk from Tennessee to Georgia and back again!
