Ruby Falls is a 145-foot underground waterfall inside Lookout Mountain, featuring a guided tour through a cavern with a paved path and spectacular views. The tour takes about 2 hours round-trip and includes a visit to the Lookout Mountain tower with city views. Note: paths are narrow with limited seating, wet and slippery spots, and small cramped spaces—not recommended for those with severe mobility issues; bring cash for tipping your guide.
