Waterfall Hikes Of Upstate South Carolina Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Upstate South Carolina sits atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment, a geological formation known to the Cherokee people as "The Blue Wall." In this region, nearly every river, creek, or stream at some point forms a waterfall. Many of them are spectacular, and most are accessible to the average hiker on a day hike. This revised and expanded edition of the original guide includes 125 hikes ranging in length from a few hundred feet to 6 miles round-trip. Each leads to a destination like the famous Whitewater Falls or Bull Sluice, or a lesser-known cascade like Pigpen Falls or Bee Cove Falls. Each entry covers everything you need to know to get out and hike: photos, detailed driving and hiking directions, estimated hiking time, and trail difficulty, as well as waterfall class, rating, height, and more.

I bought this book before heading to South Carolina on vacation. It is unbelievably comprehensive, I doubt there is a waterfall in upstate SC that isn't in this book. Thanks to the book, we saw a half dozen really cool waterfalls and were able to avoid the crowded tourist favorites. My personal favorite was the tiny disappearing fall off the forestry trail. To see the tiny stream of water just disappear into the ground made me wonder about what else might be going on below my feet, which isn't something I typically consider.
This is a wonderful book, clearly laying out the information on each waterfall that one would need. Gives very clear driving directions, and hiking directions, length and strenuousness of the hike, along with a picture and description of the falls. I had had a copy of this for several years and loaned it to someone and didn't get it back! I missed it so badly. If you live in or plan to visit the Upstate of SC you will want this book to lead you to the perfect waterfall for you, whether you want a strenuous all day hike or a basically drive right up to it waterfall. We have waterfalls for everyone in our lovely state and this book will show how to get to them!
Great quick and easy guide to the waterfall hikes in upstate SC. Includes driving directons - very reader friendly format - highly recommend - just had no idea there were so many waterfalls in this part of the state!!!
This book offers great directions to find waterfalls, as well as a solid recommendation/ratings system. I appreciate the rating system of the falls, as it helps me in making selections of which hikes/falls to go see. The driving and hiking directions are accurate and helpful for me, as I really can not read a map! Definitely a 5 star book.
I had no idea there were so many waterfalls in Upstate South Carolina. I actually purchased this book for my dad for Christmas but breezed through it before wrapping it. I was impressed. The author gives a very descriptive summary of each waterfall--distance to get there, difficulty, etc. This is an awesome book if you're looking for some fun adventures in Upstate South Carolina.
I bought this book for good friends of mine who enjoy waterfall hikes almost every weekend. It is a super resource to help them find more trails and waterfalls to enjoy in this upstate SC region. Easy to use book with good details.
I bought this book as my partner and I have been seeking out new waterfalls and hikes. This little companion makes the travel to the waterfall and the hike so much easier. The expectations of what you will see is so helpful. This way, you won't walk 5 miles to see something that looks like a small trickle of water falling over a rock, because it is so well described in the book. A must have for any waterfall enthusiast, even if you don't live in SC.
I was planning a trip to this area and this book was very helpful. I was able to plan out stops but due to a lot of rainy weather and snow before we went, some places were not accessible. Decriptions of each area as far as distance, time of hike, easy, moderate or tough were very helpful. i plan to use this guide again when i can get to this area as there are many, many waterfalls to see.
