I. The Great Outdoors
A. Eastatoe Falls (Twin Falls)
A.1. A forty-five minute ride from Greenville will set you into the scenic views past Pickens, SC. Once you approach the Road Kill Grill, you’ll know you’ve only got about 10 more minutes until you run out of road down a gravel path to a parking area. These twin falls are only a short hike from the car.
A.2. Seventy-five feet of waterfalls cascade down onto a huge slab of natural granite. You can scale the falls for an intermediate hike (at your own risk) for an incredible view from above the falls.
A.3. Once you’ve reached the top, hiking trails disperse and exploration is a breeze.
B. Swamp Rabbit Trail
B.1. 18.6 miles of paved surfaces for cyclists and rubberized surfaces for runners, this trail ends on Cleveland Street at Greenville Tech and extends all the way through the beautiful Furman University campus to Travelers Rest (Swamp Rabbit Trail).
B.2. Family friendly and a safe transit as there are no cars allowed.
Transition: Now let’s talk about music.
