Point Park


High atop Lookout Mountain, Point Park was built in 1905 to commemorate the Civil War "Battle Above the Clouds," as part of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park.



Point Park is just one of the stops made this week by Sue Turner on her recent trek through the Chattanooga area. She is hiking the Great Eastern Trail as the first hiker to attempt the entire through hike on the new trail.

The American Hiking Society blog documents Sue's trek through this area with lots of pictures here.

Sue is hiking on many trails that we have hiked in the past, such as at Cloudland Canyon, Pigeon Mountain, and Point Park. She hiked through Walker County, where Buddy is busy building a new bank - I wonder if she passed by there?
