Description

2020.205.001 A photograph of a young man standing on Umbrella Rock taking a photograph of Chattanooga and the valley below. Perched atop Point Lookout, Umbrella Rock is one of the most famous locations in the Chattanooga area. This unusual geological formation consists of several large stones topped by a large, flat slab. The rock has hosted innumerable visitors over the years, perhaps most famously Ulysses S. Grant. Formerly a popular location for photographs, erosion has made it unstable, and it is now closed to the public. 2020.205.002 A photograph of a young man with a camera standing on Sunset Rock on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, with Point Lookout.
