| Chattanooga,
Tennessee |
|
Chattanooga means rock coming to a point in
the Creek Indian language -- aka, Lookout Mountain, the city's major
attraction. Back on the ground, you'll find fun in abundance, starting at the
world's largest freshwater aquarium, the Tennessee Aquarium. If your interest
is history, there's plenty of Civil War, Native American and 20th century
historic material to pour over.
Chattanooga boasts a myriad of things, including the
world's longest pedestrian bridge, the Walnut Street Bridge and is the
birthplace of miniature golf.
Why not see historic and beautiful Chattanooga for
yourself; you won't be disappointed.
