Dorothy and I visited Paul and Heather in Tennessee this week and we took a drive to the Rock City Gardens. Along the way we saw some beautiful fall colors along I24 near Chattanooga.
Driving through Lookout Mountain, GA, the road that winds it’s way up the mountain is Route 58 which is also Red Riding Hood Trail.

This trip, since someone else was driving, I was free to use both hands with my camera … whenever I saw something of interest. One such spot was a runaway truck ramp.

Most of the great views involved the fall colors and the vertical rock cuts where the mountains had been opened for the highway.
