Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, Tennessee

While in Chattanooga Ruby Falls is a natural attraction worth visiting. Ruby Falls is the highest underground waterfall in the United States of America. This fascinating underground world takes you through a cave system in which the main attraction, the waterfall, could be found at the end of the tour.

 

An elevator will first take a group down to the the caves and a informative tour guide will explain the geological formations underneath. While waiting for the elevator, you can read about the history of the falls and how it was discovered.

Once you reach the bottom, a photographer first takes pictures of everyone and then you proceed through the caves. The whole tour takes less than an hour. Remarkable rock formations, stalagtites and stalagmites can be seen. Many are colorfully lit up for extra effect and have humorous names matching the particular formation such as “bacon” or “elephant’s foot”. Other formations were just simply interesting to look at. It is a fascinating mystical world below. It almost feels sometimes like you are in a fantasy movie.

Finally you arrive at the main attraction. Depending on the time of the year, you will see more or less water. The light beams change colors for more drama.
