Leaving from Holly Spring we headed northeast on US178 for 7.2 miles to Rocky Bottom, then beared right on Van Clayton/Sassafras Mountain Rd continuing for about 2 miles and Parked just down the road from the Kiosk and FT signs on the left. Our access was at the Chimney Top Gap entrance of the FT Trail.
Sassafrass is the hightest point in South Carolina for a summit of 3554 feet. Breath taking views on the observation platform just beyond the main parking area at the summit. We climbed 1000 feet with mostly moderate terrrain. For me, if was a tough hike.....just didn't have the energy and was cold.
