Tennessee is rife with beauty, from the water-soaked fields on the Mississippi-adjacent west, to the craggy Great Smoky Mountains found to the east. It's a beautiful place to live and a stunning place to visit. For folks that are looking for light hikes and grand views, a visit to Chimney Rocks at Tennessee's McCloud Mountain is of the essence. There's no better place to look out over the grand expanse of Tennessee.
The Chimney Rocks Skywalk can be found in LaFollette, Tennessee, just a stone's throw from one of the most beautifully situated restaurants in the state.
McCloud Mountain Restaurant and Lodge can be found atop the stunning McCloud Mountain, and it's one of the best spots to eat with a whole view stretching out in front of you.
The overlook is tucked away in the bend of the French Broad River, and a walk along the Chimney Rock Skybridge is best paired with an adventurous spirit.
The view, of course, is absolutely stunning. You'll truly have the chance to walk amidst the clouds.
Keep in mind, admission is served by way of a restaurant or lodge reservation. The view comes with a meal, folks!
The restaurant is closed from December 20th to March 15th, due to the chillier weather. We'd recommend visiting as soon as you can, though! The sunny months make for a beautiful view, and autumn is truly a dream.
The restaurant only takes reservations by way of telephone, so make sure you call the McCloud Mountain Restaurant & Lodge ahead of your visit. Hours are from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
