Your opinion is wanted!

The City of TR has put together a survey about our local parks and they want to know what YOU think.

Take this survey and share it around everywhere you can.

The more folks who let the city know their thoughts, the better the planners can give the people what the people want!

You can find the survey in our stories, on the @discovertravelersrestsc page or comment SURVEY and I’ll DM you a link.

Lace up those hiking boots because there’s a new trail in town! Table Rock State Park just recently announced their newest trail, Stool Mountain. 

This new trail boasts beautiful views of the main face of Table Rock and the Table Rock Reservoir. However, these views do not come without a challenge! This trail is rated as being strenuous to very strenuous. It is 2.7 miles one-way and 5.4 miles roundtrip, gaining 1,500’ of elevation as you reach the summit. 

@hopefullyhiking is sharing her hiking experience in a new article on the Travelers Rest Here website.

Read the article to find out all the details, but for now - here are some specifics:

Trail Name: Stool Mountain, Table Rock State Park (Pickens, SC)
Length: 2.7 miles one-way || 5.4 miles roundtrip
Elevation: ~1,500 feet
Difficulty: Strenuous to very strenuous
Total Hike Time (for me): About 2.5 hours but always prepare for longer 
Dog-friendly: Yes, but be aware there are very limited water sources, larger rocks to climb, and narrow trails. As always, they must remain on a leash per state park rules!
Entry fee: $6 adults, $3.75 seniors, $3.50 children 6-15, ages 5 and under free

Stool Mountain Trail Must-Haves: plenty of water (I wish I had brought more!) and snacks, bug spray (the gnats were brutal), comfy shoes, and hiking poles
