Upstate South Carolina sits atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment, a geological formation known to the Cherokee people as "The Blue Wall." In this region, nearly every river, creek, or stream at some point forms a waterfall. Many of them are spectacular, and most are accessible to the average hiker on a day hike. This guide includes 92 hikes ranging in length from a few hundred feet to 6 miles round-trip. Each leads to a destination like the famous Whitewater Falls or Bull Sluice, or a lesser-known cascade like Pigpen Falls or Bee Cove Falls. Each entry covers everything you need to know to get out and hike: photos, detailed driving and hiking directions, estimated hiking time, and trail difficulty, as well as waterfall class, rating, height, and more.

Most hikers know that western North Carolina is a superb hiking destination. In her second hiking guidebook, Danny Bernstein covers 66 of the best hikes in the North Carolina Blue Ridge, woven through with historical anecdotes to deepen a hiker's understanding of the region. From Stone Mountain's roots of moonshining and NASCAR to the mystery of Rumbling Bald, used as the basis for Jules Verne's 1904 novel, Master of the World, nearly every hike has its own story to tell. Each entry includes clear maps, complete directions, hiking distance, trail highlights, elevation gain, related books and movies, photos, and much more.

A waterfall is a perfect destination for a day hike. In this revised and updated guide, native South Carolinian, photographer, and hiker Thomas E. King lists 147 waterfall destinations in the mountains of Upstate South Carolina. Ranging from easy-to-access roadside locations to those that require a six-mile trek, these hikes feature some of the most famous, and some of the most remote, waterfalls in the region. The guide can be used by those of all levels of hiking ability, whether expert or novice. These easy-to-reach waterfalls of Upstate South Carolina are a fun and fascinating retreat for the entire family. Most of these falls are within the ability of the average hiker to reach on a day hike. Some sites are of particularly easy access, such as the pristine falls in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which families with young children and mature adults are encouraged to visit. King has provided the most recent trail directions and waterfall locations available to the public. He also lists and catalogs many remote or hard-to-find waterfalls and waterfalls that nature has reclaimed because the trails have ceased to be maintained. Each entry includes complete driving and hiking directions, trail length and estimated hiking time, a difficulty rating, and a detailed description of the waterfall itself, including a photograph.
