Recensioner i media

The Foothills Trails is a 76.2-mile national recreation trail from Table Rock State Park to Oconee State Park in upstate South Carolina. In between, it crosses into Western North Carolina. The trail features waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and Sassafras Mountain, the highest mountain in South Carolina. So how long would it take you to walk the distance? For that, you need to pick up Hiking South Carolina’s Foothills Trail by Scott Lynch. The book shows you that you could do it in five days, averaging 15.3 miles, or six days (12.7 miles per day) or seven days, (10.8 miles a day). All of this is figured out for you. Lynch tells you where to start and end and where to camp in between. In addition, the author highlights the crown jewel section in the middle. Concise directions are given from either direction. But what if you don’t want to backpack? No problem. The guide offers clear directions to major and minor trailheads, so you can plan a dayhike [and it’s] the perfect size to put in your pack or even your pocket.
