5 days in Chattanooga Itinerary

Once saddled with the reputation of being one of the country's dirtiest cities, Chattanooga now boasts a pedestrian-friendly downtown with a network of leafy waterfront trails and free electric shuttles.

Explore Chattanooga's surroundings by going to Build an Ark Animal Rescue (in Ellijay), Ocoee (Ocoee Outdoors, Inc. & River Rafting & Tubing) and Mercier Orchards (in Blue Ridge). And it doesn't end there: get great views at Rock City, Head underground at Raccoon Mountain Caverns, witness the site of a historic battle at Chickamauga Battlefield, and snap pictures at Walnut Street Bridge.
