Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park has scheduled a ranger-guided hike, “Footprints of History: Exploring the Ruins of Lookout Mountain,” at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, beginning and ending at the historic Cravens House, 110 Point Park Road.
Historians say the quiet forests of the Lookout Mountain battlefield were once bustling with human activity. Modern hikers, when they know where to look, can still find traces of that past along the trails.
The 5-mile hike will cover nearly 600 feet of elevation change over rock and uneven terrain. Participants should wear supportive footwear, dress appropriately for the weather and bring water. A day pack and light trail snacks are also recommended.
