Chattanooga with Mom

Chattanooga from Point Park


For the week of Thanksgiving, my Mom flew into town. For the first few days, she enjoyed trips around town, but on Friday, we travelled to Chattanooga. Our first stop was Point Park, which is an inexpensive location on Lookout Mountain for stunning views of Chattanooga and Lookout Valley.

Besides the views, the park, run by the National Park Service, is dedicated to the events of the Civil War. For more information, you can read a previous post on Point Park or visit the National Park Service site.

The weather, 60 and sunny, was perfect for a late November trip. Here's one more snapshot from the park.

We drove to downtown Chattanooga afterwards. A good lunch at 212 Market later, we walked a little around downtown. In particular, I wanted my Mom to see the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge. Not only does the bridge stretch beautifully over the Tennessee River, but the span offers a great view of both banks, including downtown Chattanooga.
