Lora and I headed out to Lookout Mountain after church. We parked at the Cravens House off Shingle road to start our hike. The Cravens House is part of the Chickamauga Chattanooga National Military Park and is the site of intense fighting that took place in "The Battle Above the Clouds" during the Civil War.
There are more than 30 miles of trails in this area and some of them are part of the Great Eastern trail. We took the Cravens House trail to the Bluff trail. We visited Sunset Rock where there were alot of people and rock climbers. The view was wonderful from on top of the rock. Most people walk down to Sunset Rock off West Brow Road.
We continued our hike doing the rest of Bluff trail which is one of the most scenic hikes in the park. The rock formations are fabulous along this trail. We passed several hikers on the trail. Do to the lack of time we had we took the Upper Truck trail back and finished on the Rifle Pits trail. The Upper Truck trail is an old roadbed. We ended up hiking somewhere around nine miles.
