The Top 10 Places To Hike In Chattanooga

Chattanooga, Tennessee is a city set along the Tennessee River in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Chattanooga is filled with all kinds of adventures like the Incline Railway, Ruby Falls, Rock City, the aquarium, and tons of Civil War battlefields. However, my favorite thing to do in Chattanooga is hike all the beautiful trails. As Shakespeare says, "The earth has music for those who listen." and this is especially true in Chattanooga. No matter where you go you have a breathtaking view. Do not believe me? Just check out these amazing trails in person.

1. Sunset Rock

Sunset Rock offers a great place for hikers to come and watch the sun go down. It is a short hike from the small parking lot with a front row view of the Sunset. However, it has over 20 miles of trails branch off from Sunset Rock, so hikers have many different hiking options.

2. North Chick- Blue Hole

A series of seriously awesome swimming holes make this destination an absolute must during the summer months. Beautiful and Breathtaking.

3. Edward's Point

A short hike from the parking lot, hikers are greeted with an overlook of the Tennessee River Gorge and downtown Chattanooga. A couple of miles further, and hikers will encounter Rainbow Falls on their left.

5.Laurel-Snow Pocket Wilderness

This trail is named for its two scenic waterfalls and includes three scenic overlooks as well as creeks, steep gorges, a small stand of virgin timber and spring wildflowers.

6. Cloudland Canyon StatePark

Pack a picnic and hike to the bottom of the gorge to discover two impressive waterfalls. Everyone raves about Cloudland Canyon State Park. If you come to Chattanooga this is a must do!

7. Snooper's Rock

Snoopers Rock Trail features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate hiking trail. However, the best part is this stunning view. You have to go see it in person.

8. Stringers Ridge Park

Stringers Ridge overlooks the Tennessee River and can be viewed clearly from the downtown waterfront. An easy trail for everyone.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
