Ruby Falls Cave

 Ruby Falls is a famous underground waterfall located within Lookout Mountain Cave, near Chattanooga, Tennessee. It lies over 1,120 feet (340 m) beneath the surface of Lookout Mountain and is notable for both its natural beauty and historical significance. In 1928 a local cave enthusiast and chemist named Leo Lambert spearheaded efforts to reopen the cave system for tourism. While drilling an elevator shaft to reach the lower Lookout Mountain Cave, workers accidentally discovered a narrow passage that led to a previously unknown cavern.  Lambert and a small team explored the newly found passage and, after hours of crawling, discovered the spectacular 145-foot underground waterfall. He named it "Ruby Falls" in honor of his wife, Ruby.


Watch you head


As formations like stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone go,
this cave is not very spectacular 



This is the reason you visit this cave

There is an underground river flowing in creating the falls and
the water flows out of the cave underground. 

The falls is bathed in different colored lights

Another great day with friends exploring the wonders of the world
