Hooker Monument

This monument is a relatively new monument, which has apparently been defaced as I doubt that blue circle was part of the original design. It is located near the nose of Lookout Mountain. I lack a map to show you, but there were a few places near here to cross Lookout Creek, which was very important as Hooker needed to cross the creek before he could engage the Confederates on Lookout Mountain.

I believe Tyndale and Smith Hills are actually just out of the right of the frame. When we stopped here we were not positive which hill was which. This is the view looking west so Tyndale and Smith Hills would be on the right of the picture, and might be outside the frame unfortunately.
