State Parks


Gratitude abounds for the thoughtful individuals who designated areas in each state for citizens to hike, bike, and kayak, and revel in the great outdoors. While I've explored numerous in California, my anticipation grows for the endeavor of collecting as many as possible among the 42 in South Carolina.

Chimney Rock State Park

Sep 28th, 2022

We drove up to the top of Chimney Rock State Park, then I took the 26 story elevator up to the very top. The view was amazing of the mountains and Lake Lure below. Then I hiked the 1.5 mile out to the highest water fall east of the Mississippi, it was a sad little waterfall compared to Yosemite!
