Lookout Mountain Parkway
On a clear day you may not be able to see forever, but you can come mighty close
from the summit of Lookout Mountain, where panoramic vistas overlook seven
states. The parkway itself, marked by green signs, cobbles together a dozen rural
byways to fashion a 120-mile-long paradise that includes cascades, canyons, and
even caverns.
Length:
About 100 miles, plus side trips
