Thirty minutes from Chattanooga, this picturesque community in Georgia hosts the Lookout Mountain Flight Park, a major training center for hang gliding.
Hint #5
This resort is named in honor of John McLemore, whose father, Charles, arrived in the area from Scotland sometime in the early 18th century. It was here that Charles was reported to have married a local Cherokee princess named “Quatsy Wolf” and raised two sons, Robert and John. Fluent in both English and Cherokee, John McLemore was a minor chief of the Cherokees and also served as a Captain in the U.S. Army where he fought in the War of 1812 and the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814.
Both Cherokee and Scottish influence can be seen in the design and décor throughout the resort, including the logo – a Celtic Cross (representing Scottish settlers & Christianity) intertwined with a stylized Cherokee Dogwood blossom (a native Georgia flower), symbolizing unity, faith, & the land’s sacred nature, often seen in the flower’s “negative” space within the cross. Located 2,300 feet atop Lookout Mountain. Are you ready to go “Above the Clouds?”
