Palmetto Trail – Middle Saluda Passage (Part Two)

This weekend I ventured back across the state line to South Carolina and continued my exploration of the Palmetto Trail-specifically, the Middle Saluda Passage. My previous post was also about the Middle Saluda Passage heading east from Jones Gap State Park to Rainbow Falls and beyond. Today I was in the Caesar’s Head State Park portion of the Passage – heading west toward Raven Cliff Falls and continuing on to the suspension bridge and Gum Gap Trail.

Palmetto Trail – Middle Saluda Passage (Part One)

After completing the Mountains-to-Sea Trail 40 Hike Challenge, I decided to take a brief break to explore some other trails nearby. I have also been curious about the Palmetto Trail, South Carolina’s state trail that eventually will extend from the mountains to the coast. It is exciting to discover new trails not far from home and to realize that the mountains do not stop at the state line. This weekend I hiked part of the Middle Saluda Passage in Jones Gap State Park in South Carolina. There are a variety of trails in the Park with many interesting areas to explore along with several impressive water falls.
