While summer isn’t my favorite time of year, even in the heat, it’s possible to enjoy an early morning or late evening hike without melting underneath the blazing sun. So, it’s great that we have hiking trails in South Carolina that offer some relief from the midday sweltering heat. For a wonderful hiking adventure along the coast, head to Vereen Memorial Gardens Trails in Little River. They meander through the Vereen Memorial Gardens, which is one of our favorite gardens in South Carolina. Oh, before you go, be sure to download a free trial of AllTrails+, and bring your camera for this waterfront hiking adventure in Little River, SC.
