Fall in Chattanooga is glorious and the rest of the country has noticed. The city was included in an article highlighting “The Most Underrated Cities for a Fall Escape” from travel journal Matador Networks this week. Writer Matthew Meltzer said Chattanooga is “a mountain town that feels like a big city, with some of the best outdoor adventures in America.” Read the full article here. Other than outdoor activities like hang gliding, rafting and hiking, Meltzer also highlights Songbirds Guitar Museum, Clumpies Ice Cream Co. and Chattanooga Whiskey. He also mentions local breweries like Hutton & Smith, Oddstory and Terminal Brewhouse. Chattanooga was one of two southern cities on the list that included Cleveland, Ohio, San Jose, California, West Palm Beach, Florida and Buffalo, New York.
