The advertisement "SEE ROCK CITY" is a staple in the south around Lookout Mountain. It has been for many decades painted on barn tops for a hundred miles. I love the factoid that a man from Tennessee once climbed Mount Everest, and when he reached the summit he left a small red topped barn there that said "SEE ROCK CITY". Great video.

Georgian here. Glad you enjoyed our state. Our mountains are the oldest on Earth and date from Pangea. Of course you probably saw how very HOT things are here. We did not become very populated until the invention of Air Conditioning. Today one would probably not alter the rocks so much as they were to make these two places (carving them and making paths) but today most would leave them in their natural state. It is very calming to relax in the mountains of the Appalachians. Much of this land was preserved by belonging to natives until the US drove them out in the trail of tears. Still somewhat sparsely populated today. You should consider visiting Savannah as well.

Many people don't realize just how much natural beauty the southeastern United States has to offer, and it brings me joy to see you having the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate some of it. I've lived within an hour of where you visited all of my life and it's an amazing area. If you ever make it back to this area, Cathedral Caverns in Alabama, Stone Mountain in Georgia and even the United States Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL are wonderful places to visit.

It was so nice visiting that place again through your video. I went there once, 65 years ago. You stirred up a lot of ancient memories. Thank you.

When our children were little 6 and 8 we took them to Ruby Falls. I am 5'11" and when we got off of the elevator, I felt a wave of claustrophobia, but my wife and kids did not have any problems! Beautiful place!

Welcome to Georgia! It’s a big state with lots of stuff!

I'm glad you're seeing more than just big cities, the US is more than NY, LA, and Chi.

Chattanooga is a great place to spend a weekend. It’s a small city but it’s packed full of things to do. The Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain Battlefield, Incline Railway, Chattanooga Choo Choo, any several really good places to eat. I live in Nashville and used to have weekends in Chattanooga all the time.❤️🐝🤗

I have been to Georgia only once. My friend had me eat a fresh Vidalia onion sandwich: sliced white bread, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and a slab of sweet onion. It was surprisingly good. Edit: Good video, Marie!

I'm pleased to see that you're exploring more than NY, FL and CA which I feel are the locations most foreign visitors see

lol my sister and brother-in-law took my oldest to rock city when she was around 3. When the got back my dad asked her what she saw at Rock City…. She looked at him like he was crazy and said “Rocks pap”.

Wow Ruby Falls looks like an awesome place to explore, and Georgia looks beautiful!

If you ever come to South Georgia you should check out the Okefenokee Swamp!

When I moved from New England to Georgia and got to travel in north Georgia and South Carolina I thought it was a lot like the White Mountains in New Hampshire - rivers, small waterfalls, and bald rock tops to hills/mountains. Beautiful country.

Hello Marie! I'm actually not even a 20 mins drive from Rock City and Ruby Falls! It's nice to see someone from outside the US come see the amazing scenery and wonderful tourists destinations of Northwest Georgia

I love lookout mountain. Chattanooga is beautiful. Thank you LEO!

You were so close to where I live! My husband is from England and Rock City is one of the first places I took him. We took the railcar ( is that what it’s called ?? lol) that goes up the side of the mountain and then walked around. Special place. Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of natural waterfalls throughout Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama… beautiful all around.❤

Bonjour Marie, welcome to Georgia, known as the Peach State. I hope you get to try one. Beautiful footage as always Lookout Mountain (Rock City) was the site of a major battle in the Civil War. Looking forward to more GA videos. 🇺🇲🇨🇵

Done that when I was younger. It was magically fun!

that brought back many childhood memories !! My Mom and Dad took my six siblings and me through Rock City and Ruby Falls in the 1960's . WHAT FUN !!

Welcome to my state and I hope you had a good time. I always find it funny when people from different countries or flat land states visit and are mesmerized by the area. Born and raised here your use to seeing the mountains, caves etc so it's not a big thing to us. Thanks for visiting Georgia. 🏈GO DAWGS🏈

Can't beat a nice waterfall, regardless of where it is.

Thanks for sharing. That place was amazing. Hope you had fun. Stay well and happy.

I have a good friend who lives in Marietta, GA. Nice to see you enjoying the things the states have to offer miss Marie!

I live about an hour from those places. Glad you got to see my beautiful state

Marie, that was a truly beautiful video. Both locations were spectacular. And you picked a perfect I enjoy your videos you pick some nice spots to see .

Wow. Both of those places looked amazing! I want to go see them both, for sure!

Hey Marie , Happy Summertime 😁 🌄 🍑 "Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind" 🎶 You know With a Lucky Gnome as a friend , Magic is never too far away. Lookout mountain a true marvel of nature , the views ( across the states) was amazing 🔭 and the Rock features are unique , no wonder it's so popular , were the trails giving you mystical vibes to. I'm surprised that many could fit through fat man squeeze considering how it is nowadays. You did the best you could working the camera in those tight spots. Fairytale land was terrific with all the characters side by side we know so well , I didn't see snow white or the 7 dwarfs , I'm guessing they need permission from Disney. Going down into the caverns was exciting like something out of Jules Verne journey to the centre of the earth. Ruby falls was spectacular sparkling in various colours. It's been visited since the ice age & they've found pilocene bones. It was mined for saltpeter to make gunpowder and also used as a makeshift hospital during the civil war , Andrew Jackson was so impressed he signed the walls. It's a moving and romantic story about Leo and Ruby turning there dream into a reality. Back in the 60s & 70s there was a large number of billboards of 'see ruby falls ' 100s of miles away. Johnny Cash & Roy Oribson co - wrote a song about the slogan seen on barn roofs. It was well worth the few hours , hopefully your go back again & discover more , there's even a small town called Helen in the blue ridge mountains modelled after a alpine village including the octoberfest celebration , a number of islands like St Simons with a WW 2 home front museum & faces carved on the trees , Cumberland with its secluded beaches & Tybee with the oldest & tallest lighthouse in Georgia and there's Tallulah gorge state park with its suspension bridge with fantastic views of the waterfalls just west of the border with south Carolina. Thanks Marie , keep cool 🧃 , maybe it is a heatwave I dunno & do be careful when it comes to fake chicken , watermelon & bananas etc that's sold at Walmart , make sure what your eating is fresh & natural. " When the moon is high , and the stars twinkle bright , Gnomes come alive in the moonlight" Have a blessed Sunday 😊🌻 🧡 ✌️

So cool!!! Thanks Marie...your videos are wonderful. ❤😊

That 7 states lookout I guess beats the heck out of the Four Corners, but I guess at least in the Four Corners you can stand in all four states, not just see them.

Marie, I’m one of the first comment how about that? It looks like you’re having a great time and enjoying the time with your friend! You get to go some places that a lot of us have never gone because we don’t have the time or have family and things like that or work, but we get to live vicariously through you! I so much enjoy your videos. Thank you very much. Kerry.

I remember as a child my uncle Aunt and my grandmother went there with my brother. And still today I remember a lot of it. It’s a fun place to go.

Another great Video again! Beautiful imagery and nice job showing everything so well! I've traveled past those places many times for my job and have seen the signs for it but never stopped there and always wondered what it was exactly. I'm glad you made this video and I'm going to make a point of going there to see it all in person now!

Welcome to my home state Marie! A lot of people have negative things to say about the South but it’s because they don’t understand what life is like here. Georgia has a lot to offer, unique places to see & wonderfully friendly people. Next chance, take a visit to Savannah & Tybee Island (my birthplace)! Hope to be able to travel as much someday. Cheers!

I really hope you had a wonderful trip to South ❤ I was blessed to have been born and raised in the tri-state area of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama... hopefully everyone was kind to you 😊

Rock City during Christmas is amazing. You should go to Pointe Park and learn the history of the battle above the clouds. As a Boy Scout we walked the blue beaver trail to the top of Lookout.

Des moments Heureux

Great job capturing the natural beauty of Rock City and Ruby Falls area!

You need to go to Rock City at night in December when they light up the whole path with Christmas-themed items and lights.

Hi Marie me too about thirty minutes from where I live, So glad you enjoyed it

All you needed to add was a trip to the Chattanooga Aquarium and you would've completed an elementary school field trip I had when I was 9 or 10 years old. Good times. I think I'd appreciate the views more as an adult. I loved the caves the most then.

I’ve been to Rock City several times💥💥💥 great place 👍 soooo glad u enjoyed it Marie ✌️✌️🇫🇷🇺🇸

So cool to see you back exploring the us Georgia is my favorite state in the us even though I don’t live there anymore you can see small town big city’s mountains to beaches and everything in between

Wow! You visited my home! I’m a Lookout Mountain native. I’m so glad you enjoyed your trip. There is a spot south of the city of Lookout on Scenic highway that is a hang glider place. People jump off the mountain and hang glide to Trenton in the valley. You can watch them jump.

Great that you got to go to Rock City and Ruby Falls. Looks like you had a good time. Great video Marie.

Very beautiful place, and your video of it was fantastic! If ever in Georgia I'll be sure to visit this place.

I guess KZfaq suggested this video since I was born and raised in the Chattanooga area. It was cool to see this from your viewpoint. It really is a beautiful place and I guess that’s why the nickname is “scenic city”. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome! I live in Chattanooga, TN, so this is literally my backyard.

$ 2 in 1930 was very expensive. People worked in factories for 50 to 70 cents an hour. A movie was 10 cents.

Enjoyed The Video,But I Was Hoping You Would Have Taken The ‘Incline Railway’ As Well.

Oh cool. I’m so happy you were able to visit my place of birth. Georgia really is a great state. I live on the coast of Georgia on Tybee island. Been to all of those places in your video many times. So glad you enjoyed your experience here. Great video. Thanks a lot. 😂

I live in the Chattanooga area, and I have been to Rock City many times. Also, my brother works part-time as a tour guide at Ruby Falls. They are both great attractions for our area. I'm glad you enjoyed them!

This video was so amazing. Thank you for sharing. I am glad that you can live your dreams as you are. Be safe and have fun. Life is a dream with many more adventures to come.

About a 10 hour drive for me. Love that area. Glad you got to enjoy it.

I love this , I went there when I was younger . You’re close I live on the coast in South Carolina ❤

Marie, I really loved your video. Those were two spectacular views and sights to see. You certainly picked a beautiful day to go filming. I certainly love watching your exploration videos. They are always pleasant to watch, and you put me in a pleasant State of mind. Thank you for sharing your adventures, and keep up the good work.😊

I went here as a child it is bringing back memories from early 70's!

So glad you made it up Lookout Mountain! It’s amazing, especially when the weather cooperates. Next time you go to the Chattanooga area you need to ride the TN Valley Railroad, I think you’d get a kick out of it!

I would never fit through that narrow gap. I drove a motorhome through Georgia a long time ago. I am glad that you have been able to see so many attractions in North America. This is an amazing continent. From subtropical to ice cap, we have a lot of variety.

That was amazing! If I want to put together an itinerary to travel through the states, I just have to make a list from your videos because you literally find all the gems!

I have not been there since I was a small child even though it is only about an hour away. I need to go back. Thanks Marie

The singing group Alabama were from Fort Payne, about 60 miles away, same mountain chain. I have been there twice being from Central Alabama.

Wow , I've never heard of that place ...its a long way from my house, but if I get to Georgia, I would love to visit...

Well the video turned out fantastic Marie! Those were some spectacular views 😁. Keep those awesome videos coming. Love to see this great big country through your eyes!

I grew up near Chattanooga and haven't been to rock city and ruby falls since I was a child. Looks a bit different than when i was small, but still very neat!

It's a paradise .Thank you so much for the video 😍😍😍😍

I've never even heard of Rock City, absolutely beautiful. Marie if you're still in the south looking for somewhere new to see, you MUST go to Mammoth Cave. It is in south-central Kentucky, not too far at all from your adventures in Tennessee. It's the largest cave system in the world, it's an incredible experience!

Your videos are always fun to watch. Thank you and I hope you have many more enjoyable experiences here in America!

In my career driving a truck, I’ve driven over Lookout Mt more times than I can even count. 😂 I don’t get down that way anymore, but I remember it…especially getting snowed in at the top on my way to Atlanta in the 2011 Snowmageddon.

Savannah one of my favorite places to visit…. Athens one of my favorite places for music….the big house in Macon…. Where I wish I could have lived in the 70’s

Hi Miss Marie !!!!! Hope you are having an amazing weekend 😮 As always the like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊

Fun Trivia: Interstate 24 in Georgia is the only section of the Interstate Highway System that does not change its mile markers when it enters another state. From Chattanooga, through its brief time in Georgia, until it gets to Kentucky near Fort Campbell, I-24 keeps its Tennessee mile markers. This is probably just easier for people to tell emergency services where they are, if they need to, since the interstate is not in Georgia very long.

I've been to both, you should go to Cumberland Caverns in Warren County, Tennessee, Hugh Cave also a cave in Pelham, Franklin County, Tennessee that has live music.

I passed Rock City many times in the past, but I don't remember ever going to Ruby Falls. There is another cave system in Kentucky called Mammoth Cave National Park. This is the largest cave system in the world ig your interested in something like that.

Your English keeps getting better and better

GA has a lot to offer. Mountains in the north, flat plains in the southwest, lakes and rivers all over. great beaches on the coast and swamps in the southeast. Something for everyone except dessert we don't have that but you can go to one of the biggest airports in the world and fly to Vegas if you want dessert.

Fascinating! Never knew of these places. Thank you so much for showing us!

I've been by there hundreds of times going to my grandparents' house on Signal Mountain, but I've never gone to Rock City or Ruby Falls. A lot of my family and friends have.

Just a couple hours in Georgia? I've never been myself, but even Georgia deserves more than a couple hours visit! When you ever make it to Texas, please plan for at least a week LOL!

I watched you for a while. Glad you made it here. If you get to come again, I recommend Savannah and Tybee Island, maybe Dahlonnaga, or Helen. Callaway gardens. A few other smaller towns.

Marie, anglais bon!

I knew that place was close to the Tennessee/Georgia border, but I always thought Rock City was in Tennessee. Anyway, just a couple miles West of there is a 100 mile long, deep and narrow Sesquatchi Valley. This valley does not lie between tall mountains like most valleys. Instead it a carst formation. It is all limestone in that area and over millions of years gigantic caves were formed by ground water erosion, much like the one you visited. These caves eventually became so large that they collapsed, leaving a long and narrow depression in the surrounding landscape that is now know as the Sesquatchi Valley. You can see this process still being played out to the very North Eastern edge of the valley where Grassy Cove has formed but is still not fully connected to the main valley yet.

Georgia is a beautiful state. I hope you make it down to Savannah. I book an Airbnb on lookout mountain and the views are stunning, especially when the hang gliders are taking off from next door.

Did that tour almost 50 years ago. Time flies when you're having fun!

lol…I’ve lived in Georgia for 10 years and didn’t know about these places. Awesome, we need somewhere to go. Hit these up in Sept/Oct when it cools off a little.

Been to all those attractions 🤩🤩🤩 all just brilliant

Those rock paths and how narrow they are is enough to make you feel claustrophobic! 😬😱 But what an exciting adventure this looks like nonetheless! Cheers! 🤠🍻🪨🇺🇸

I remember See Rock City on barns about as much as the Meramec Caverns. Marie, you missed the Caverns thing on your St. Louis visit. It's too bad, but you can only do so much. Great history in Chattanooga. They say you can see seven states, but can you? I don't know. Nice hook, though. Hotel Chattanooga Choo Choo was amazingly different when I went years ago. Beautiful scenery, Marie. That's another curly W

These last few years have been a hard pull for many Americans. I had hoped we would have met our challenges a bit more effectively and had gotten along with each other better. Along the way, it seemed we forgot just how amazing America is; how lucky we all are to be here and how grateful we should be for those who gave us the opportunity continue this journey. Watching you discover the wonders we often take for granted is a joy from a simple human perspective. We like seeing others happy. But, more importantly, it serves to remind us how blessed and amazing our lives are, here, in the USA. Thank you. Be safe. Enjoy your travels. :)

Cool cave

Looks like you had a really cool day. Leo, on the other hand, wasn't too bright.

Check out Rock City at Christmas time! Its even more magical!😍🎄

Welcome to my home state

Hopefully while in Georgia you get a chance to go spend a day or two in Savannah Georgia! You'll love it.

Used to work there. Actually built a few things still there.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your trip to Georgia, my home state for many years, and I enjoyed your video. But I think that it would be unfair to our good neighbors in Tennessee to not point out that Lookout Mountain, Rock City, and Ruby Falls are all *in* the state of Tennessee, near the city of Chattanooga. They're close to the Georgia border, but we'd be remiss to claim them as ours, since the people of Tennessee are quite fond of them. I hope you'll come back to Georgia. We have some fine places to visit, too. Cloudland Canyon State Park is very near to all those places you visited. Or you might try Pine Mountain in Central Georgia, home to Callaway Gardens, the largest azalea garden in the world. Beautiful place. Keep traveling and stay safe.

Love Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls! Such a great place! Being from East Tennessee, it's about a 4-hour drive there for a fun vacation, versus driving 8-9 hours to the East Coast and spending double the amount of money to vacation at the beach!

If Ruby falls who helps her up? Excellent tour and video.

Welcome to Georgia. Wonders around every curve.

Bonjour Marie! Bonne journée! Marie, toujours je parle peu français et je sais peu français!
