Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
Caesars Head State Park is the largest state park in South Carolina. And what is more impressive — its connection to Jones Gap State Park in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area adds on 13,000-acres of immaculate southern mountain forest. The park in Greenville County also borders Transylvania County and is known for a legendary, granite gneiss (high-grade metamorphic rock) formation outcrop. This is one of the highest points in Greenville County, at a whopping 3,208 feet above sea level on the Blue Ridge Escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains, providing a panoramic view of the mountain country. This paradise for hikers allows for a variety of trails connecting the parks. Delve into this hands-on learning environment and discover nature in its wildest habitat.
