Rainbow Falls — Attraction in Signal Mountain

If you know how to use the ropes well it’s easy to get down and back up(tips at the end). This is one of my favorite falls anywhere around! Multiple people take dogs of various sizes. As of 9/24/22 the water was too low to swim much, but they had ropes the whole way down - which I hadn’t seen there be more than halfway since I had last come.

There is lots of big rocks to sit on. Plenty of people walking through because multiple trail heads meet here. Overall a great experience.
