Ruby Falls Tennessee BEST CAVE EVER

 The tree lined road leading up the mountain was absolutely beautiful.  We have already purchased our tickets to enter Ruby Falls.  Some history about Ruby Falls.  Leo Lambert accidentally discovered Ruby falls in 1928 deep within Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN.  Leo named the waterfall after his wife, Ruby, and opened the attraction to the public in 1929.

 

 We journeyed deep inside the historic Lookout Mountain to see the tallest and deepest underground waterfall open to the public in the United States! We descended 260 feet by the glass-front elevator to see ancient cave formations along the cavern trail to the thundering falls.   The rest of the way to see Ruby Falls was a mere 1,120 feet.


 Ruby Falls was founded by the tunnelers who kept digging to locate the original cave they were searching for, the Lookout Mountain Caverns, which reached 1,120 feet underground.
