Rock City (Georgia/Tennessee)

Rock City is worth the ride.

It was very pretty, and the walk was good too. I am glad I can still fit thorugh the rocks.
They where very close though, need to go on a diet ASAP!

The Lovers Leap was romantic and tells a story:

Nearby Yonah Mountain is the site of a Romeo and Juliet-like legend that Nacoochee was a beautiful Cherokee "princess," who fell in love with a Choctaw warrior named Sautee. When their love was forbidden by the Cherokee elders, a war party followed the eloping lovers and threw Sautee off the mountain, with Nacoochee then jumping to her death, a Lover's Leap.

[Reference: Wikpedia :)]

Ok, so it was a very tragic romantic story, but the view was awesome.

I also liked the "seven states" view. Its pressumed you can view a bit of these states: Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia. 

On the trail there is a hanging bridge, which was scary but safe (there is an alternate trail). We also saw a white deer!

We had dinner in TN, at a brewery place, Big River Grille, it was delicious and did the beer sampling, very good!

Rock City is very close to Ruby Falls, which we haven't been yet. But I promised Emily I would take her when she comes for Thanksgiving! So we will definitely be going up again!

Also, Yuani and I realized, we will be spending another Black Friday in Atlanta! Can't wait!
