点评:Having lost our Gulf Coast vacation to Hurricane Isaias, we stopped overnight near Lookout Mountain as we returned home in northeastern Kentucky. Before resuming travel the next day, we decided to check out Lookout Mountain. We drove to the mountain top and went to the station there for their incline railway. It was free to go to the observation decks, so we climbed the stairs to the upper deck. There was a nice view of Chattanooga, Tennessee, with the Tennessee River snaking through the city. IN the distance one can see a range of mountains. There was a cool breeze blowing while we were there in mid-October 2026. Inside the station house they sold souvenirs, many related to Moon Pies, which are made only in Chattanooga but distributed more widely. If it weren't for the fact that we were on a day-long return trip home, we would have checked out Ruby Falls and Rock City and possibly ridden the incline railway!
翻译:由于飓风“艾萨亚斯”的缘故,我们计划在墨西哥湾沿岸的度假行程不得不取消。在返回肯塔基州东北部的家中途中,我们在 lookout山附近过夜。第二天继续行程前,我们决定去游览一下这座山。我们驱车前往山顶,然后前往那里的车站搭乘观光缆车。登上观景台是免费的,于是我们沿着楼梯爬到了上层观景台。从那里可以欣赏到田纳西州查塔努加市的绝美景色,田纳西河蜿蜒穿城而过。远处可以看到一系列山脉。2026年10月中旬我们在那里时,有凉风徐徐吹来。车站内售卖着各种纪念品,其中很多都与Moon Pies饼干有关——这种饼干只在查塔努加生产,但销售范围很广。要不是我们当天就要返家,我们一定会去看看鲁比瀑布和洛克城,说不定还会乘坐倾斜铁路呢!
