About Scenic City Life

Scenic City Life is a free, friendly guide to Chattanooga and the North Georgia mountains around it. It’s built for anyone who keeps asking the same good questions. Where are the best views? Which waterfalls are worth the hike? What’s free this weekend? Where do locals actually eat? You’ll find the answers here, one guide at a time.

What you’ll find here

  • Outdoors: hikes, waterfalls, overlooks and state parks within about an hour of downtown Chattanooga
  • Things to Do: attractions, museums and free fun around the Scenic City
  • Food & Drink: local restaurants, markets and neighborhoods worth a visit
  • Events: seasonal festivals, holiday lights and what’s on this month
  • Day Trips: small towns and scenic drives across Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama

How these guides are put together

Every guide pulls hours, prices and rules from the official park, attraction or event pages and links to them so you can double-check before you go. Scenic City Life is free, and nobody pays to be featured.
