Upstate SC

[katmills2005]

Some of the rivers in this area have tubing but not all. Most folks go a bit farther north into the mountains to tube. They have really cleaned up the Reedy in the past ten years. Falls Park, which is right in the middle of downtown, once resembled more of a landfill than the tranquil park it is today. One of the main reasons I love living in the upstate, I'm a half hour from the Ga line, 45 minutes from NC, and just a few hours from the coast. Mountain hiking is a favorite past time for my family. There are so many beautiful places to visit here and yet its not a tourist area. I'm looking forward to Grandfather Mountain this year. I haven't had a chance to go and fully intend to enjoy the beauty of the site.

Great pictures, Kat, magnificent scenery, hard to believe its close to an urban area.

You've made me homsick. I grew up in Greenville and have hiked Table Rock and Ceasar's Head more often than I can count. VERY glad to see the pictures of Falls Park. When I moved from Greenville in 1980 (still go back to see relatives though) what is now Falls Park was NOT a place you wanted to spend too much time in.

Thanks for the pictures.
