  I have been to many civil war battlefields. They did a good job organizing, preserving, and telling the story. The audio tour is easy to follow. My only regret was because of the weather we could not walk the fields. Plenty of monuments and the story is told well in gone film. Nice visitors center. The film is shown regularly unless they forget. Nice friendly staff. Get there before 4.

  It's a shame this place is so easily missed. Absolutely incredible park. Some of the best views I've ever seen and wide open access to them. No queing up in a line. Beyond this there's many neat places to explore here and a lot of interesting history. We wound our way down to the small museum which was really cool but the winding path down to it alone was worth the walk.

  A great place to walk and relax. Benches at various places to sit. The VIEW is the attraction! You go to the edge and see for miles. Chattanooga below. We visited after a light dusting of snow and took pictures, it was wonderful!

  The road up to this is long and curvy. But it is worth the drive. You can see very far from the top of this mountain. They say you can see 7 states from here. There is also a tram/train that you can go on that rides you up/down the mountain, it look very steep, but like it would be a cool thing to do. Definitely would recommend to stop here.

  This was my first opportunity to visit the "Battle Above the Clouds" Battlefield by Chattanooga, TN. I wasn't disappointed. The view was tremendous. About a 300 degree view of the surrounding area. It was 9am and about 25 degrees outside. Low fog to the east along the valley floor make it look eerie at times. I took lots of pictures to share with family and friends. I couldn't stay long, but rest assured, I will be back when it's warmer and can stay longer. Recommended !

  Spectacular views over Chattanooga battlefields. National Park Rangers on site were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Several vantage points had canon still in place which further enhanced the experience. Well worth a visit!

  Hiking through history in a Tennessee spring for only $3 is a brilliant way to spend an early Saturday morning. We went along the Bluff Trail to Sunset Rock. Along the way we stopped and watched icicles melting and ancient rock formations coming to life in the rising sun. Walking along W Brow Road back to our car was a treat for especially for those who appreciate stately old homes and beautiful gardens just beginning to emerge from this brutal winter.

  Cannot beat the views of Chattanooga from here. Much less expensive than Rock City or Ruby Falls, but just as nice scenic views. Adults $3, kids free. Take the trail down to the museum. Smallest museum in the world, but good concise history of the area and interesting civil war era photographs. You can also access several longer hiking trails just down the mountain from the museum.

  I recommend walking the 1.5 miles from Craven's House up the trail to point park to get a good idea of what they mean by the battle above the clouds, from there, visit the theater and the newly opened Och's Museum and pay your newly increased fee of 7$ or so on your way to the theater and gift shop. (It was three dollars for years.) The view from the museum is my favorite in Chattanooga and it is unforgettable because it exceeds 180 degrees with a view from valley beneath Raccoon Mountain, Moccasin Bend, and central downtown, all the way to Missionary ridge on your right.
