Look up to the Blue Ridge Mountains

Hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains is a favorite activity of the Upstate. One visit will show you why. With peaks as high as Mount Mitchell’s 6,684 feet, the Blue Ridge Mountains are just minutes from Greenville (just drive north and look up).

They offer sights that are hard to compare this side of Switzerland. Enjoy thousands of miles of hiking trails, hundreds of waterfalls, numerous state parks and two nationally protected forests. You could live here you entire life and not explore all that the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer.
