| Video Discription | Used by the confederates in 1863 to track Union troops, today we hike to Sunset rock from Cravens House. This trail is located on lookout mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to many locals, this is one of the very best hiking trails in the region. Halfway through and on, it provides many areas for bouldering and rock climbing. But not only are the epic rockfaces and phenomenal summit view what make this trek great, but also the fascinating civil war history. Which I cover a bit in the video. This area of lookout mountain hosted "the Battle Above the Clouds" during the civil war. It is also part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military State Park. In the "Hiking Epic Trails" series, we find the coolest landmarks on each hiking trail and give them a name. However, some of them already have a name. In order, the landmarks in this video are Pennsylvania & Illinois Civil War Monuments, Big Momma, Cravens Wall, Witches Hut, and Sunset Rock.

It is part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military State Park, the largest and oldest Civil War national park.[5][6] Once known as Point Lookout, Sunset Rock provides a view of the Tennessee River, Signal Mountain and Prentice Cooper State Forest.[7][8] The 100-foot cliff and moderate temperatures invite heavy traffic for its many climbing routes, which were completed in 1960. Sunset Rock is mainly sandstone, making for easier routing and climbing. Route development continued through the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, routers pushed the grades ever higher. Climbing here is especially popular in the autumn months due to cooler weather.[9] Sunset Rock is attractive to Civil War enthusiasts due to its history; it has a Tennessee Historical Commission Marker at the head of the trail, describing its Civil War battle history. Confederate Generals Braxton Bragg and James Longstreet[10] used Sunset Rock as a lookout in 1863 where they were able to track the movement of the Union troops as they entered Lookout Valley. It is claimed that, unknown to Longstreet, the Union troops could see him on Sunset Rock from the valley, where they were able to decipher the Confederate code, giving them the ability to anticipate the next moves of the Confederates.[11] This resulted in the Battle of Wauhatchie, in which the Confederate army attempted to remove the Union forces from the river and block their supply lines. The attempt was unsuccessful; with the consequence that the Union forces were able to lay siege to Chattanooga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookout_Mountain _________________________________________________________________________________________ Who are we?
