Steepest incline in the world! Trolleys refurbished in the 80s; I felt safe. Good views from the entire trolley.

It's the hanggliding capital of the world, so there are some amazing views. The home of Rock City, one of the South's historic sites, also boasts civil war history, and Ruby Falls. You can hike, bike, play golf, and have a great meal (Canyon Grill). Worth a visit.

Good viewpoint of the surrounding area. Very steep, so not everyone liked it, but I found it worth going on. Kids would love it.
