Easy - and weatherproof. ~20 minutes by car from Chattanooga (CHA). Buy a tour ticket; a guided walk (with stairs) leads through the cave to the illuminated falls. Because it's underground, it runs year-round regardless of weather. Spring and fall for smaller crowds. Bring a light jacket - the cave is cool.
