Review:

Ruby Falls is a 145-foot underground waterfall located more than 1,120 feet underneath the surface of Lookout Mountain, near the city of Chattanooga. The falls were discovered in 1928 by Leo Lambert and were opened to the public for guided tours two years later. The cave and waterfall gained national notoriety in the mid-20th century due to its popular See Ruby Falls roadside billboard campaign, which was immortalized in Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash’s country song “See Ruby Fall.” Today, the falls remain one of the Chattanooga region’s top tourist attractions, accessible via the main passage of Ruby Falls Cave. Though the two attractions are not operated by the same owners, the falls are commonly associated with the nearby mountaintop Rock City tourist attraction.
