Coming 2027
Something is Blooming This Spring

The gnomes of Rock City have begun to notice. A subtle shift in the mountain air. Strange glimmers dancing through the trees. Whispers carried on the wind. Tiny signs that something enchanted is awakening among the rocks, caves, and trails of Lookout Mountain.

For generations, the gnomes have watched this rare season, when the mountain seems a little brighter, stories feel a little closer, and wonder can be found around every bend.

What exactly is happening? They aren’t quite ready to say.

But this spring, guests will be invited to Rock City to uncover hidden surprises, enchanting discoveries, and a bit of gnome magic unlike anything seen before.

Stay tuned. The gnomes have much more to reveal.
