Ruby Falls of Tennessee
The journey begins at the top of a 260-foot glass front elevator that slowly drops you down into the cavern 1120 feet into the mountain. Along the trail there are magnificent mineral formations that have been named over the years such as Elephant’s Foot and Angel Wing due to their defining shapes.

The sound at Ruby Falls Tennessee is massive and reaches visitors ears before their eyes are ever laid on them. The ferociously gushing water builds up to a dull roar before the final twist in the trail exhibits the grotto that is home to Ruby Falls Tennessee.

Originally the Southern Railroad company had to build a tunnel along the face and other portions of Lookout Mountain where Ruby Falls is located and in doing so the original natural entrance to Ruby Falls was sealed off. An explorer named Leo Lambert has discovered the cave before it was sealed off and hoped to one day reopen it to the public. In 1935, with the help of investors his dream came true and Ruby Falls Tennessee has been toured by millions of visitors since.

Did you know? That The 145-foot waterfall fervently pumps 300 gallons of water per minute into a crystal clear pool making it a breathtaking sight.
