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.
