Friday we took a trip into Chattanooga. The drive along Lookout Mountain’s ridge provided us with a view to the east and west. We found a place to park near the riverfront. We found a shuttle stop (Chattanooga provides a free electric shuttle bus in the downtown area) and rode around town to get our bearings before setting off on foot.
We visited Warehouse Row which is two blocks that were once warehouses, but now house an upscale shopping area. We were disappointed because most of the shops were vacant. From there we walked back to the river area and had lunch in Big River Brewery.

The riverfront has an aquarium, IMAX Theater, and Discovery Center (hands on science). Behind the aquarium there is a pedestrian bridge across the Tennessee River.

When we returned to the campground, it was full. What a change from earlier in the week!
