My first stop yesterday morning was Gorges State Park, N.C. I hiked to Rainbow Falls and Turtleback Falls.

I was going to hike a trail at Table Rock state park, but realized it wasn’t going to have the wow factor, so I took a couple of photos and headed back out.

I went to the scenic overlook at Caesars Head State Park. The leaves weren’t changing as quickly in South Carolina as they were in North Carolina.

For the last mile of the hike heading back to my car, I met a nice couple. They live 3 hours away in North Carolina. The lady and I were swapping stories of injuries we have sustained 😅

On the way back to my Airbnb I stopped and ordered some to go food. As I was waiting I noticed this beautiful farm across the road.

I hiked in total about 9 mi and drove a little over 2 and 1/2 hours. It was a long day, but beautiful.
