All aboard! Join other ILR travelers as you set your sights on unforgettable adventures with our newest 2025 Road Scholar travel option. Chattanooga is a Tennessee gem — where Southern charm and grand Victorian mansions meet a thoroughly modern metropolis.
Embark on unique field trips to places like a woodcarving school, a river aquarium, and an antique carousel. Discover Cherokee and Civil War battlefields, and walk across the world’s longest pedestrian bridge. Stand in the shade of the sandstone boulders of Rock City as you learn about their geological history. Feel the cool spray of America’s deepest waterfall, and soak in the sounds of Appalachian music and the charming chug of a historic Chattanooga choo-choo. From high up on Lookout Mountain to the underground Ruby Falls cascade, explore Chattanooga from top to bottom. Our 2025 itinerary includes this exciting destination that will leave you with lasting memories.
Hurry! Space is limited; the deadline to express interest is September 29th.
