Rock City

Rock City Gardens are on top of Lookout Mountain. To get there we drove from Georgia to Tennessee back to Georgia half way up the mountain.
We weren't sure what to expect but it was really interesting/beautiful. To paraphrase the brochure: The Carters owned this very large estate and made paths and planted flowers throughout the rocks. The Depression hit and they opened it to the public advertising everywhere 'See Rock City'.
The paths through the existing rocks were amazing. They do have lots of opportunities to spend money but we managed to see it all without spending extra.
We fit through the tight squeezes and I walked the 'swing along bridge'
and we could see to all 7 states I'm sure it was such a beautiful day.
Apparently the Caters did well when they opened it to the public because Mrs. Carter commissioned a sculptor (Jessie Schmidt) to make 'Mother Goose Village'- (see picture above) I don't think there was a fairy tale not represented.
It was a really neat place to visit for children and adults.
