Rock City

With its variety of plants, rock formations, and views, Rock City, located on the Georgia stretch of Lookout Mountain, offers a lot to a tourist. Though for rock formations, I still prefer Giant City Nature Trail for being more natural in its approach. Yet, there are priceless moments like watching your girlfriend be flustered by a tight passage.

In addition, most of the manmade paths fit quite naturally with the settings...

...and there is not much like catching water as it sparkles going over a falls.

Most dramatic is the views, particularly, at the Lover's Leap, which is halfway along the path. We sat down, ate, and took in a spectacular scenery. It's the one area that makes me want to come back to Rock City. Though, this was where not bringing the backup battery proved important as the camera's battery went dead. So I don't have any shots from the Lover's Leap, but I did take this photo shortly before reaching the Leap vista.
