Panoramic forest overlooks; autumn reflections in crystal clear mountain lakes; wild, scenic gorges; forested hiking trails – October brings dramatic beauty to the Cherokee Foothills. A fall tour along Scenic Highway 11 leads to moments of inspiration, enchantment and autumn magic. |
Join Park Interpreter Scott Stegenga each week beginning Oct. 1 for the South Carolina Mountain Region fall color update. From his ‘front row seat’ in Table Rock State Park, Stegenga will snap up–to–date photos and keep us posted on the changing display – from the first signs of color in the forest through the end of leaf season. |
