Description

2020.323.002 A photograph showing two women sitting on Umbrella Rock atop Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. Both women are wearing white dresses but the one on the right is wearing a dark belt. There is a wooden ladder at the base of the rock and the historic markers are seen at the bottom right of the photograph. 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.
