Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

The aquarium is pretty good.

Sleep. I'm kidding. You could check out Look Out Mountain.

Lookout Mountain was good. Taking the railway up was worth it.

Ruby falls was also really nice.

Thanks for the local intel!

I live near Chattanooga on lookout mountain. Some of favs are the mountain biking and trail running around the area. Lots of great hikes. The hang gliding school is a great thing to do in the afternoon on nice days. Check out lula lake land trust of its open when you’re here. They have a really cool water fall. Also, near by is Cloudland Canyon which also has some great hikes to waterfalls. Sunset rock on lookout is great, as is point park.

The Battles for Chattanooga Museum provides a great intro to the Civil War battles fought in and around Chatt in Oct-Nov 1863.

A lot of good paddle boarding to be done on the river. Chattanooga is such a fun town to just walk around and be outside. Rent a city bike for 15 for the entire weekend and just zip around. Hit the chestnut bridge and ride down the riverwalk.

Downtown there's a lot of restaurants to eat at. I love the Hot Chocolateer over by the Choo Choo.

We love it and bought a condo up there just for a get away from Atlanta.

If you're a foodie, I'd recommend St. John's Restaurant for a meal (or 2, or more).

Agreed. (But it used to be better. It has dropped off a bit in recent years.)

But even if you're not a racer, there are tons of great road cycling roads in the area. The Sequatchie valley in Tennessee is nice, but there are great roads in practically any direction.

I used to go to Chattanooga a ton as a kid long ago. The aquarium was pretty great. I think there might be a train musuem too? Can't remember for sure.

Is a bike ride up and down lookout mountain relatively safe to do in the morning?

My family had the best time in Nooga- they have a cool rock climbing store in town where they can try there hand at it there and they said the aquarium was pretty nice too. Plenty of places to eat and drink as well.

If you are an engineer (or mechanical kind of guy) you might be interested in the Racoon Mountain. It is a pumped station reserve. You can get up close and personal with a very impressive engineering design built into a mountain.

"...the street finds its own uses for things"

You should ride up the W Road then down Taft Hwy, its a better climb and gives you a few awesome views of the city. You're also fine to ride up Lookout. You can go up Ochs then down Scenic Hwy or visa versa. Suck Creek is another good climb that has slim to no traffic in the mornings.

why not arrange a tour of Litespeed plant , maybe Lynksey does this also
