Indian Legend of Lover's Leap
Sautee was a brave from a tribe that was feuding with the Cherokee Indians. Nacoochee, the Evening Star, was the beautiful daughter of the Chief of the Cherokees. The two met and found a beautiful and strong love. When Nacoochee's father discovered this love, he condemned Sautee to death by being thrown from the precipice of Lookout Mountain. Nacoochee was forced to witness his death and was so distressed, she leapt from the cliff to her death. From that day forward this cliff became known as Lover's Leap.
The 100 plus foot falls there must be one of the most striking natural attractions. But I feel sad after knowing the tragic folklore associated with them....
