Ruby Falls

We definitely took our time getting back from Atlanta, stopping once for yummy Georgia peaches and other produce and another time at an outlet mall. Then, the highlight of our return trip was a visit to Ruby Falls. One can see the signs for it and Rock City all along the highways in Georgia and Tennessee. While I wondered if it might be as tacky as the world’s largest ball of twine or some such “wonder,” it really was fascinating. Ruby Falls is a 145 foot waterfall that is 1,120 feet underground. We parked on the side of the mountain and entered by traveling down 260 feet by elevator. We then walked ½ hour into the cave to the falls. It was so neat to see all the formations along the way. And the falls themselves were beautiful. We were able to walk behind them, and as they told us, when looking up at the falls, the way they were lit, it appeared there were diamonds falling from the sky. Beautiful.
