  Paris Mountain, in South Carolina outside of Greenville, is home to many great hikes, including the Sulphur Springs Trail, a 3.5-mile loop. A perfect hike for the fall.

  Hot and humid, but that’s not unusual in South Carolina in the summer. However, I went to Tamassee Knob all the same.

  Lake Jocassee can be a serene place to sit and read after walking the Raven Rock Trail, but only until all the motorboats find the cove beneath one’s aerie of solitude.

• 

  Surprise discoveries of great places to hike or walk are fantastic, and the Clemson Experimental Forest became a regular afternoon destination.

• 

  It was a frustrating hike to a very out-of-the-way small trail, but it was definitely worth it for the view of Big Bend Falls.

• 

  It can be an incredible feeling to be reminded that there are good people in the world, and that some of them enjoy walking in the woods, too. This trip to Eastatoe Creek provided just such a reminder.

  An “emergency” hike when I had a few minutes while driving south took me to the Beech Bluff Trail in the Lake Hartwell State Recreation Area.

  Here’s a short hike, returning to the East Fork Trail in South Carolina.

  A recent snowfall gives this steep hike up to Falls Creek Falls in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area a worthy view at the top.

  Paris Mountain State Park, very close to Greenville, South Carolina, is the home of the Mountain Creek Trail, part of a series of trails that are easy to get to and good for all seasons.
