It is a wonderful Mountain located in Tennessee. The Valley has the Chattanooga Choo Choo. The Mountain has Ruby Falls and Rock City.
The Indians called Lookout Mountain “Chatanuga Mountain”. This name is of Muskegon (Creek) origin and means “rock coming to an end”. Another source has Chatanuga translated as "mountains looking at each other". White men referred to the mountain as the Look Out for its spectacular view and because it served as a warning to rivermen to “look out” for dangerous sucks and swirls just beyond and for highway men who preyed on rivermen who stopped to avoid having to run the sucks at night .

Yes that area is called Ruby Falls. At Halloween they have the haunted caves, and yes very spooky!
