Lookout Mountain Incline Railway

I can't think of a better way to view the Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain areas than from the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway! When paired with lovely Point Park on the top of Lookout Mountain, this makes the perfect morning's outing.

PICNIC? yes--at picnic tables at the bottom of the incline
SWIMSUIT? no
COST? $15/adults; $7/ages 3-12
PLAYGROUND? no
AUTHOR'S RATING? four out of five stars
HOURS? 10-6pm every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas

Don't miss the views from the observation decks at the top of the incline!


When getting on the incline, watch your step! The car itself is inclined!


Passing the other train car is one of the thrills of the ride.

I love the windows at the top of the car--the ride is so steep that these windows show the view of the valley.

This is the pulley that holds the whole thing together! When one car goes up, the other goes down.

I definitely recommend the incline!
