Throwback Thursday: 📸 The first Incline up Lookout Mountain opened in 1887. It ran from the 38th Street area in St. Elmo to just below the Point. The second Incline, engineered by John Crass, opened November 16, 1895, and is the Incline that is still in operation today. The success of the second Incline was the primary reason that the first Incline closed in 1899.

Lookout Mountain has been a popular tourist destination in Tennessee and Georgia for centuries.
