Lookout








On a great autumn afternoon this walk covered 5+ miles along several trails on Lookout Mountain. We began our walk out the parking area at the Kiddie Trail just before the Nature Center at the base of Lookout in Chattanooga. As the trails along this side of the mountain are not well marked at intersections I'm not sure how much was on the Skyuka trail, the Lower Truck trail or was it Upper Truck trail? Maybe some of all of these. The remarkable thing was that there were so few people out enjoying these trails on this sunny fall day with the temperature around 70. These trails can be from moderate to difficult depending on your route and pace. The trail to Sunset Rock would be considered difficult for the novice and at parts for the experienced hiker as well. The Kiddie Trail has some short but steep climbs up until you reach the first intersection and split with other trails.

  1. I am very familiar with all of these trails, maybe next time you take one of them, if you let me know, I'll lead or at least tell you where you are. Forestcase
