Lookout Mountain Parkway & Cloudland Canyon

Ascending the sheer western palisades of Lookout Mountain from Trenton on GA-136 past Cloudland Canyon State Park, this route runs the high plateau crest along GA-189 into Chattanooga. Features dramatic 1,000-foot gorge overlooks, boulder-strewn rock faces, and panoramic vistas of four states. The north descent into Tennessee plunges through multi-tiered switchbacks on TN-148 past the Incline Railway. Pavement is well maintained with excellent banking through the state park sector.
