One stop on our sightseeing travels took us to Rock City in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.Yes, yes, yes - it's tourist trap - but if harken back to the days when this attraction was a private garden and residence, and that the project took owners over 4 years to complete - it's really quite amazing.
Wouldn't it have been neat to have been a little kid back then? To be a child and wander through all the rocks, tunnels, cracks and peer over ledges. It would have been just the greatest!
We enjoyed the stroll just the same, especially the lovely fiddle music that scerenaded us throughout our walk. It was quintessential Tennessee culture - not hillbilly or too countrified, just lovely American music. We steeped in a perfect sun-filled day, cool temperatures and soft breezes. Best of all - absolutely no crowds. We couldn't have timed it better. I can't wait to come back again in Spring to see the azalea and rododendron in bloom.
