Complete waste of time. You wait one hour for the train to come up, go down, and wait another hour for you to go back up. There were no sights, mainly only trees. NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!

Owner description:
Known as “America’s Most Amazing Mile,” The Incline’s trolley-style cars climb through the natural beauty surrounding historic Lookout Mountain at a breathtaking 72.7% grade – straight up! Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic views of the mountains and valleys from the observation windows on the train as well as the panoramic views from the observation tower at The Incline’s top station. And while you’re up top, be sure to visit the many points of Civil War interest, the Battles for Chattanooga Electric Map & Museum and Point Park, part of the Chickamauga -Chattanooga National Military Park system, just a few short blocks from the Incline top station.Then, after you descend back down to the Incline bottom station, explore historic St. Elmo, where a wonderful collection of unique shopping and dining experiences await you.

A fun way to see the amazing scenery that Chattanooga has to offer. The incline is VERY steep but you feel very safe in the rail car. Try to avoid going on a car with school groups because it isn't very entertaining with screaming kids everywhere!

Loved this must see attraction in Chattanooga. You can start the incline trip at the bottom or the top of the line. The bottom has a big parking area and the top has only street parking close to it. There is a parking area at the top near the National Park Service's, Point Park, and it's about a five min...

You get on a railway car and as you travel up and travel down, you are sometimes holding on, afraid you will fall out of the seats.. Very steep grade but I who are afraid of heights, felt safe Would do it again.

We loved this experience. The weather was beautiful and we had a fantastic view from the top. Halfway up you pass another train car going in the opposite direction. We got lots of great photos and it was such an unusual unique experience. We had about 20 minutes at the top before we came back down, though you can stay...

I did this with the belief that it would be scenic on the way up and down. I was disappointed because it was not very scenic. We started at the top of the mountain and had to get a seat in the back. On the way down you can see the houses that are beside the railway. We were first...

The incline railway looks more interesting than the actual trip. It IS very steep but you are going down/up so slowly you don't notice it. You go down - wait 20 minutes - go back up.

I went to Chattanooga on a spur of the moment trip from Atlanta and just HAD to take this railway. I love inclines. I took one in LA (the world's shortest), one in Belize (possibly the scariest because it's unmanned and we got stuck!) and one in Budapest.
This ride was fairly cheap at $14 roundtrip with parking at the...
