High Falls (aka Lover's Leap) - Lower Trail Overlook - Rock City - Lookout Mountain, Georgia

Located atop Lookout Mountain and just 6 miles from downtown Chattanooga, High Falls (which also goes by the name Lover’s Leap) is an artificial waterfall and is arguably the signature attraction of the Rock City Lookout and Gardens on the Georgia side of Lookout Mountain. High Falls is 140 feet in height. The trail to the waterfall is easy to get to and is stroller and wheelchair accessible, making this waterfall enjoyable by all.

Lover’s Leap gets its name from a Cherokee legend of two young lovers, a brave named Sautee and a beautiful maiden named Nacoochee, from two feuding tribes. According to the legend, Sautee was captured by the opposing tribe while with Nacoochee and thrown from the top of Lover’s Leap. Nacoochee, distraught from the loss, immediately jumped to her own death as well.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
