Cloudland Canyon State Park

Gorgeous state park, just 25-30 min drive from Chattanooga. Beautiful views of the lookout mountains and canyons, hiking trails, and 2 waterfalls (Hemlock and Cherokee). Both trails to the falls have many flights of stairs, but the view is worth it. *Note: Cherokee falls would be less strenuous hike and better view between the two and can get up closer to the falls.
