In November of 2018 we headed upstate to hike this beautiful passage of the Palmetto Trail in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness area. I hiked with the Ladies of the Palmetto Trail. We started at the Raven Falls parking lot across from Caesar’s Head State Park, and hiked a total of 12 miles and 102 floors! I was totally exhausted but the sense of accomplishment is immeasurable. I’d like to thank this fun group of ladies for including me at the last minute. 

We covered:

• Raven Cliff falls trail
• Dismal trail
• Gum Gap/Foothill trail
• part of Naturaland Trust Trail
