Whether you’re new to town or have been a Chattanoogan your whole life, we want any and every suggestion (we promise we will keep your secrets...only sharing with our thousands of dedicated readers + followers).

We’ll go first. Editor Haley loves sitting on the docks by the Riverwalk and watching the sun go down over the mountain hills. There’s just something about the pink and gold hues that make the city shine.

Bonus: Send your best + favorite sunset or sunrise photos with us to share.
