Wow! Mr. Lambert was one determined guy! I'm always amazed at the tenacity of people. Great tour. Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you so much! I am claustrophobic and this as close to Ruby Falls as I will ever get! Absolutely Beautiful😮
I agree RitaVernoy! Too claustrophobic for that tour. So interesting though…. Thank You for sharing!
We have toured many caves over the years but not Ruby Falls. You're right. It's especially beautiful. Thanks
👍
Thank You, God Bless💙
😊
Thank you so much for the tour of Ruby Falls. As a 70 year old living in Hawaii I would not have been able to ever get to enjoy this amazing natural formation if not for your video. Thank you again. I have also enjoyed your other videos. Blessings from Hawaii 🌺🙏🌺
You are a true artist, fussing over lighting, while we are oohing and ahhing in wonder at what you have recorded.
I could handle the cave walk but not slithering through a crack to ???
Truly AMAZING
Mr Lambert must have been quite the visionary back then.
Lovely day trip out at the Falls enjoyed it.
Your guide gave an interesting commentary.
I saw Ruby Falls for the first time in 2017 after living here all my life. It’s beautiful! I have heard a rumor the falls is controlled by a switch.
Thank goodness you filmed that because there is no way I could go down there. Such a beautiful sight.
Amazing! I can’t even fathom what the original explorer felt when he discovered the caves and then the falls. What a wonderful discovery he made.
Very interesting. I have driven past that area on I75 every time I visit my son in Marietta GA and never went there or to Lookout Mtn. I have visited many caves such as Mammoth Cave, Luray Caverns, and Penn's cave. One of the favorite activities in PA at Penn State is caving. They still use carbide lights for that. The next time I will have to spend some time in Chattanooga, and go to Ruby Falls. My daughter was just at the Tennessee aquarium in Chattanooga as she works in PR for zoos and aquariums all over the country. Years ago we visited the Chattanooga choo choo. I live in Cincinnati and the first railroad to go from Cincinnati to Chattanooga in 1880 opened up the south to passenger rail transportation. It was given that nickname. The rail line was operated by the Cincinnati Southern Railroad which was America's first municipal railway system. Until last year Cincinnati still owned the 337 miles of track to Chattanooga. The voters approved the sale of it in November to Norfolk Southern.
The Aquarium is on my list for a video!
Thank you for such a treat. What a beautiful place!
Thanks Tim. Very interesting. Beautifully filmed in spite of lighting. Wonderful things are created subsurface. Mineral specimens and rocks are fascinating. I’ve been underground in a mine but it’s not comfortable to me. I’m impressed by geologists, miners and the spelunking enthusiasts. You are much braver than many so it’s great that we can benefit from your adventures. Well done.
💯
Fascinating ❤❤❤ Thank you Tim for sharing such splendor. We have one in New York called Howe Caverns.
Lovely video Tim. It’s somewhere I’ll never get to visit myself so really appreciated your vid. Very knowledgable guide. Looking forward to your next outing. 😊
Thank you for sharing this gem. USA has amazing landmarks and so much beauty. God may have had his hand in Lambert's choosing where he discovered.
Only one word - INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you!!!
😊
So amazing! Our Earth is such a fantastic planet…. Sure wish more appreciated it a little more. As I dig in my garden this year I will surely be wondering what is a little bit deeper! Thanks for this video Tim… you are a blessing to so many.
Wow … am certainly impressed…. This treasure is what dreams are made of… absolutely amazing … and the history… I Loved it. Thanks so much for sharing. Reminded me of the movie The Other side of midnight… where the husband takes his wife into the caves with a flashlight and turns it off and leaves her there in the dark… starring Susan Sarandon…. 😊
😊
Thank you for sharing...
Thank you so much. The cave is just breathtaking. I wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for your video. I really enjoy your videos.
breathtaking indeed
Wow! I would love to see this! It's fantastic!
Oh my goodness! Several years ago when I was a youngster my parents would take us from our home in NE Ohio to Florida in the winter to escape the snow for a week. We passed several billboards that said, "See Ruby Falls!" We begged my dad to take us but he never did as we were on a schedule. Thanks for the tour!!
😊
Wonderful post! Thank you. Being claustrophobic, I would not see this IRL.
You had a wonderful guide! I love hearing the history of this kind of place as much as the science of how it formed!
👍
Thanks tons! I'll plan to go see this very soon
It’s really beautiful. Thanks for the tour. As others have said… there is no way I would do what you just did. Your tour guide, Jim was awesome. Very informative. It’s just so hard to wrap your head around this. It’s just amazing. Thanks again.
💚
Tim, thank you so much for including us in your tour of Ruby Falls. Many of us will never get to see this wonderful place except through your lens as we physically can not make it. Please know it is a great service you provide to us and I for one want to tell you how much I appreciate it. I am looking forward to Scotland, as I have traced my ancestry back to Scotland and Ireland. Thank you again and keep up the good work! Sláinte is táinte!
❤
Wow, what a great video! I have never heard of Ruby falls--very interesting! Great tour!
same here...
Thanks for the tour. I went about 30 years ago with all the kids. They loved that it was in a cave and spooky looking. The falls are beautiful and are quite the highlight to the tour.
good memories!
Thanks for taking us to see the falls. I've driven to Gatlinburg many times in the past. I have never been to Ruby falls. It was beautiful
👍
Amazing!!!!! Thanks!!!!!😊
Thanks for the tour! It looks awesome and now I need to visit this place. Back in my college days I did some spelunking in southeastern KY. I wouldn’t do that these days but cave tours will suffice. 😊
🙂
Oh wow, what a magnificently beautiful place Ruby Falls is. Words are inadequate to describe what you have kindly filmed for us to share. The only word I hate to hear is vandalism. How can anyone live with themselves if they damaged such beauty. Thank you.
Hi, Tim! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing adventure with us. It’s so beautiful! And the tour guide was great. I really appreciate the history and background that was included. Wonderful job!! Looking forward to more adventures!

😊😊😊
i live in Huntsville Alabama and went to Ruby Falls and Rock city lots as a child….watching your video I can tell I have developed claustrophobia. Thanks for taking me thru.
oh when we were children...
Been there! 😊 See Ruby Falls! 👍❤️🙏🏻
lucky you! one day...
It has been many years since first seeing Ruby Falls but still an amazing adventure. Obviously the tours and, I imagine, pricing, has changed dramatically. Thank you so much.
I was there 3 years ago. Very nice.
Thank you for the video.
lucky you got to see them! 💙💙💙
Will go in the winter so we can have an exclusive tour. Always enjoy hearing what they name the different structures. 😂
I don't get out much nowadays so thanks for taking me along on the tour. Was always interested in geology but confined spaces make me a bit nervous. This way I can enjoy the sights from the comfort of my home!
Props to whoever set up all of that lighting
💯
I went through Ruby Falls & Look Out Mt in the 1968.
It still as pretty as I remember. Thx you for sharing this video.
I really enjoyed this video and am looking forward to seeing other videos around Chattanooga. We stop in Chattanooga on our way to Atlanta and have done some sightseeing but have never been to Ruby Falls.
Oh my word! Tim, That was absolutely beyond words. Definitely a place to see if you can get to Chattanooga! Thank you very much for taking the time to video this. I can only imagine what it's like to be there. Wondering what the entrance to this cave looks like and also the location and vicinity of the castle in relation to the mountain and cave. The man who made this all happen is a hero to mankind. Then to think he might have missed the falls by a few feet or yards could not have been an accident. Just saying.
I went to Rock City as a young teen (65 now) but never made it to Ruby Falls even though I only live about an hour away. Now I see it’s no where I could ever go. Very beautiful but very claustrophobic looking! Thank you for sharing this😊
💚💚💚
We visited Ruby Falls in 1989, on a trip from Manitoba to Florida. We had a great tour guide! She nicknamed our son ‘Bud’, and it stuck for a long time after. 😁 I can’t believe we only have a few photos from that trip! Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦☕️
This is really interesting. Thanks for the video .
Oh my. I remember seeing this maybe 45 years ago with my family when we visited my Grands in Knoxville. This was the inception of what became a lifelong nickname that I acquired....Turtle. Because I am soooo slooooow. Thanks for the memory lane.
That was great, Tim! You both did a great job and the light was fine.
👍
I’ve been to Chatanooga many times while driving from
Virginia with my husband to visit his parents in Alabama and several times while we were making our move to be closer to his parents We would stop at Chattanooga to stay the night most trips. I’ve seen the sign for Ruby Falls but I’ve never been. I’d love to see it someday although I might get a bit claustrophobic 😂
Hello Tim, this was interesting, as far as I'm concerned. I was thinking about how Mr. Lambert was able to fit in such tight spaces without getting panicky, or worried that he couldn't get back! 😨😵💫 He had to have nerves of steel. That wouldn't be me. 😵 Are they concerned with contamination with human breath and/or placing their hands into pristine water? Pollution from the ground could be brought in also. I'll leave by saying you did a great job, but I'll stay at home and watch you (brave man). 😄 Take care, love your collection of blue shirts, they bring out the blue in your eyes!
Now that's pretty awesome!
This was beautiful. I go through TN to FL every year. And I always see the signs for Ruby Falls but never have got to go there. Thanks for sharing this video Tim. And the tour guide was awesome. Shout out to him.
Magnificent❗
so awesome!
The lantern light tour sounds ❤❤❤
Beautiful! I wonder if Ruby Falls and area are part of the Cumberland Plateau? You're right about the sound and it couldn't have been better. 💯 Thanks for taking us along!
Loved the video! Interesting and beautiful ❤
me too!
Thank you so much for the video. I always wanted to visit there on our way to Florida. The video made me want to visit even more. 😊
may that come true!
🤞
I’ve never been there, but I’ve seen many barns that say “see Ruby Falls”. I’m not far from there so it’s a shame I haven’t visited there.
This was an amazing, beautiful video! I felt like I was walking with you through the cave. I've seen a few waterfalls in Tennessee, and I am always in awe of the beauty of Nature. Thank you, Tim for sharing this with us!
Fabulous! Thank you and more, please!
yes! more please!
I have wondered for decades... Astounding, thanks for sharing!
😊
That was awesome! Thank you for your tour.
I love these little adventure videos
me too!
Great! Thanks for taking us along!
This was so interesting. I hope I get to visit some day
me too...🤞
WOW! incredible beautiful
Excellent tour.
Hi, i enjoyed your video tour. I’m from Puerto Rico so i was very impressed with this site. WoW! thank you.
😊
Very nice!
😊
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Awesome!
Awesome! ❤
That never quit attitude pays off 😂
❤
I have not been there since i was about 4. I dont plan on going back! I love rocks, but not caves! It is very beautiful, but it is hard to watch this. haha
Did you get a private tour? We took our daughter there when she was almost a year old. She is now 14. We had a good time. Oh, I just listened to the end about why you were the only one there.
thank you soo much really appreciate your videos. So interesting
👍
Very cool. Thanks for sharing the video. :)
👍
❤ Oh My God is so beautiful.
Is Amazing.
Don't apologize for the video light. Just fix the light and go inside the cave again and film again.🤣
Can you tell us what is the camera you used?
🙏 THANK YOU AGAIN, you were kind to show us this amazing part of the City🙏👍👏
I filmed this with the DJI Pocket 3. It has a Low Light setting. I just forgot it here. 🤦♂️
😊@@TheNewRetiredMe
Love Ruby Falls.! One of my favorite trips with my grandkids!
That knotty pine paneling gives 50s vibes. Thank you. It was a nice tour.
Hey T, I ❤ waterfalls, unfortunately I don't travel much and I don't think I'll ever make it to Tennessee but it was so amazing to see.
check the waterfall videos in his photography channel! amazing!
Another destination to check out. As a very young child we visited this area. Not a great vacation for little ones. I thought the 📸 was dark due to dark location. Definitely worth visiting. Thanks for the presentation. My spring vacation date keeps moving closer to late winter. Mardi Gras is just around the corner.
Thank you. This brought back some memories I had forgotten. Growing up in southern Indiana we would visit Tennessee often visiting Mammoth Caves and Lookout Mtn. Here in western CO we have the Fairy Caves in Iron Mountain. Really cool cave formations and so interesting. Really enjoyed your video!
wow i visit this in august 1977, and this is the best thing i ever see in my life we where the last of the group from Canada , and the guide was asking Canada are you there to make sure no one was missing
Loved this video for your call you do!
👍
Thanks for the tour. Just lovely.
What an amazing site to see!! Thank you Tim for giving us a wonderful idea for our next family trip!!
Thank you for the beautiful tour 👌👍
Great tour, thanks for taking me back!
Loved seeing ruby falls. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the tour. Is it strenuous for someone who is out of shape. Did The Lost Sea and made it back up but was getting concerned. 😩 Lived in East Ridge in mid 60’s in fifth and sixth grade and loved it, but never made it to Lookout Mountain. Visited Rock City with a friend but do not remember the falls. Recently went back to eat at Bea’s Restaurant on Dodd’s Avenue, a Sunday favorite when we lived there. Enjoying your videos. Your voice reminds me of Mike Roe.😁
Not strenuous at all. No steps to climb. All by elevator!
Loved it…always wondered about it👍
Wow that is beautiful! We have a lot of cool caves in Missouri!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! We have been to Chattanooga a few times but didn't go to Ruby Falls unfortunately. But our son and his wife went there in October. My husband I are planning to go in near future. We don't live too far from there - 3.5 hours without stopping.
Amazing video
👍
That cave gave me the creeps
I had never heard of Ruby Falls, I live in a distance of 20 min drive to Multnomah Falls in Oregon that is amazing as well, but a totally different environment. I do have problems w closed spaces and I might have a problem being in there, but if I had the chance, I would give it a try probably. I am wondering what the air is like down there, is it really humid, does it smell of anything, does water drip on you? Do you think any critters or plants live down there? I really appreciated the video and the story, so thank you for taking us there :)
The air is surprisingly fresh. They do give everyone an opportunity to go back up if they start to feel closed in. There have been mice found down there, but I didn’t see any. .)
Very interesting but caves ain't my thang! 😊
