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

Adventure, or Misadventure?
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.
The Kindness of Strangers
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.
Just Off the Interstate
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.
Busy Spring
Here’s a short hike, returning to the East Fork Trail in South Carolina.
Falls Creek Falls
A recent snowfall gives this steep hike up to Falls Creek Falls in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area a worthy view at the top.
Winter on Mountain Creek
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.
Visit to Stumphouse Tunnel
Stumphouse Tunnel, right near Issaqueena Falls, is a place where Clemson University used to grow its signature blue cheese.
Carrick Creek in Black and White
A hike to end 2013 led me to another hike in Table Rock State Park, the Carrick Creek Trail, in South Carolina.
In Search of a Secret
Sometimes there are trails that are so well hidden that one may just have to find other trails, instead. Just like the Secret Falls in the Cherry Hill Recreation Area.
