Try to visit Chattanooga during spring, summer or fall. The winter months are picturesque, but a little chilly for the plentiful outdoor activities the area has to offer. If you are interested in taking the shuttle up Lookout Mountain, come during the summer - the only season it operates. The world's steepest incline railway runs all year long. June is a great time to come for Riverbend, a nine-day party with music, food, and family events rated one of the top 25 Festivals in the Southeast.
