When we were in Chattanooga we had the opportunities to see several of the sights. I will share some of our favorite pictures from each place as I get the opportunity. These pictures were taken at Ruby Falls.
These are columns that we saw down in the cave. For those who may not be familiar with Ruby Falls, the man who found the falls dug an elevator shaft down into the mountain to try to find an old abandoned mine. He found a passageway that he crawled through to find the falls and this is a section that he went through on that first journey.
The fish is an example of the imagination that the people at Falls have in the finding in the cave. They spot many things that vaguely do represent something and will label it to give the visitors something to look at as they walk to the falls. The walk through the cave to the falls and back is about a mile, so they do try to entertain you as you walk. Also, the passageways are very small, only room for a single file line in some sopts, but there is only one way in and out. Because of this you will have groups passing you going the opposite direction, so the group that is going in stands as far to one side of the path as they can while the group that is exiting passes.Here are some pictures from the end of our trip to the falls, a great way to show that we were there.
