A standing testimony to nature's wonder, these Falls are located at the end of the main passage of Ruby Falls Cave
. The stream, about 1120 feet underground, is fed both by rainwater and natural springs. It collects in a pool in the cave floor and then continues through the mountain until finally joining the Tennessee River at the base of Lookout Mountain.
The Steiner family of Chattanooga, Tennessee, which owns the Ruby Falls, made it more spectacular by installing electric lights in the cave perhaps the first commercial caves to be outfitted colourfully'.
This natural phenomenon is a staple ingredient of Chattanooga tourism (USA).
