Never thought I would be out hiking in 20 degree weather. Pam and I met up with the hiking group today at junction 178 and Hwy 11. We traveled a few miles on Hwy 178 to the Chimney Top entrance to hike 6 miles up to the summit of Sasafrass Mountain. This is the tallest mountain in South Carolina.Our elevation was already at 2500 ft. when we started so we only had to climb 1000 ft. to reach the top. (Approx. 2.7 miles) What incredible views on the hike up and at the overlook. A short lunch break at the top and then a descending hike back. My knee started hurting again and I was able to use some poles which made it for a fairly easy and slow return, but enjoyed every minute of it.
