Steve’s take

One of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, and the park is beautifully maintained with a driving tour, monuments, and a visitor center with a Fuller Collection of 355 military weapons. About fifteen minutes off I-75 near Chattanooga. The auto tour is seven miles and takes about an hour with stops. If you've been doing the Lookout Mountain attractions, Chickamauga adds the sobering counterbalance. Free admission.
