Day 1:  New York - Luray Caverns

Trip:

Luray Carvens

Depart from NYC head to Virginia State, and our first sightseeing at this journey is the most stunning and largest cave of the entire east coast, the Luray Caverns. Which is one of the National Natural Landmark of US? The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc.) The path that goes through Luray Caverns
starts at the entrance. Next it curves throughout the caverns and there is a spring of water called Dream Lake. Stalactites are reflected in the water making them appear to be Stalagmites. This illusion is often so convincing that people are unable to see the real bottom. The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithopone made from solenoid fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells.

From the platform, it allows visitors to see a 360-degree panorama of the surroundings, giving visitors a spectacular view and fresh air of the mountains.

We will spend the day exploring Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding area. Our day includes heading to Lookout Mountain to take the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, see the Ruby Falls as well as visit the Rock City.

Lookout Mountain - This historic hilltop on the southern border of Tennessee has a colorful history as a place of importance during wartime. Most notably, it was the centerpiece of the Battle of Lookout Mountain during the American Civil War.
Lookout Mountain Incline Railway -This tram has been running almost continually since 1895 and with the exception of an engine update in 1911, it hasn't changed very much in more than 100 years of operation. The ride stretches about one mile up the mountain and the incline reaches a breathtaking 72.7% grade - almost straight up! Enjoy the “America’s Most Amazing Mile” aboard!

Ruby Falls - a breathtaking 145-foot underground waterfall, is a natural wonder. It is located over 1,120 feet below the surface of Lookout Mountain. It is fed by rainwater and underground springs and the water from the falls eventually flows into the Tennessee River.

Rock City - On the top of the Rock City, it is said seven neighboring states might be seen from Lover's Leap - you can find out whether it is true or not. However, we are sure you will be amazed by the breathtaking panoramic views of natural landscape, massive ancient rock formations, and gardens with over 400 native plant species.
