Lookout Mountain Guild-Hardy Trail is a walking and biking trail located on the side of scenic Lookout Mountain.  The trail was built on the historic route of the C & LM Broad Gauge Railroad and follows its path up the mountain.  Two remaining trestles are the most captivating evidence of the railroad.  The Guild-Hardy Trail provides walkers and cyclists access to a multitude of trails on Lookout Mountain, National Park Service and Reflection Riding.  The GH Trail winds through forested mountain slopes littered with historical ruins, by Ruby Falls and the Cravens House.
