Point Park, Lookout Mountain, TN


The picture at the top of this page was taken at Point Park.


This past Sunday afternoon, we decided to go up to Lookout Mountain to see the beautiful colors at Point Park.   

Point Park was completed in 1905 to commemorate 
the "Battle Above the Clouds
as part of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park.

Lookout Mountain is also where the Incline Railway is, although we decided to drive up rather than take the rail car.  

It was a beautiful day, with temperatures in the 70's and the sun's warm rays streaming through the trees.  We couldn't have asked for a better day to visit.  

These cannons are the original cannons used during the Civil War and preserved here on Lookout Mountain.




Since I am short on time today, I will just post a few of the beautiful pictures I took and write more and post more on a later date.


 
More to come later!
Be sure to check out the slide show of Point Park
