The waterfall at the end is beautiful and made a perfect spot to rest. We let Luna take a quick swim to cool off, but were very cautious about her not drinking the water. I had done quite a bit of research beforehand and found mixed reviews about the water quality. Most concerns centered around contamination within 24-48 hours after rainfall. Since it hadn't rained recently, we felt confident it was safe, and thankfully, Luna had no issues after swimming.

Reviewing a R O A D?? Haha, why not?…read more Not just any road; gorgeous country road(s) well worth the time to explore. This trajectory happens to take us to many of our destinations, and during these drives there are such unusual and inspiring new things we happen to see along the way, all quaint, all scenic and lovely. And we always see something new. Many parts of the road afford amazing views. Views of the surrounding mountains, and of the waterfalls, forests and wildlife. Just be careful on these roads as they have many twists and turns and also can be dangerous during inclement weather. Many of the twisty-turny parts have narrow passes so be aware of other cars when they approach yours and be patient and polite when drivers's speeds in front of you are a bit slower than yours. [I'm] only being cautious, as it can be dangerous, especially during the decent, even in good weather! As far as when colder weather hits Chattanooga, I haven't come across the road being closed during the Winter months yet, although I've been told the road closes when heavy snow storms mixed with ice and cold hit. Just remember that the elevation on this road is much higher than the average, which typically makes the mountainous areas colder and more icy, and thus, subject to much more abject weather. If you go, one of the best times is during heavy rainfall. That will be when you will 100 percent view the many quickly-falling waterfalls along the sides of the road. This is one of the best things about the drive. Don't worry about being overwhelmed by the roadway getting flooded. There is great infrastructure and planning in place that the engineers have designed. It moves the excess water along extremely well via trenches along the sides of the road which end up cycling the rain down to sea level. That's why Chattanooga is so green! Other times, when the trees are full of leaves and the days are sunny and warm, take the drive and stop at the many turnoffs that will take you to spots with terrific views. Some of these are also within walking distance to nearby trails where you just may find a waterfall inside at the end of your journey. Don't forget to lock your car before you leave it on the turnoff. And don't forget to take your water and camera with you! Have fun and enjoy the nature around you!

Chattanooga Music Man is an interesting sculpture by artist James Simon and it's been here since…read more2012. The artwork itself is in good condition - the bow and fiddle are still intact - but the caption is very peeled and the QR code is illegible. The artist's statement: "Dramatic, larger than life, unexpected, and elegant, the sculpture depicts a fiddler serenading to folks as they walk or drive by. The fiddler ties into Chattanooga's rich music and working class culture, both past and present. The music composition creates a universal ambiance of remembrance of times past, joy for the present, and future." The sculpture is made of fiber-reinforced concrete and oxide pigment and is over 8 feet tall. The face is quite expressive and joyful. [Review 18812 overall - 348 in Tennessee - 2335 of 2022.]
