South Carolina - Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway

Description: Looming majestically beyond the low, soft hills of the Piedmont, the Blue Ridge escarpment thrills the soul of the mountain lover. The Cherokees called these heights "the Great Blue Hills of God." Following an ancient Cherokee path, this beautiful two-lane road arcs through peach orchards and villages, past Cowpens Battlefield, and over Lake Keowee. You will find this corridor not much changed since centuries ago.

Time to Allow: 3 hours
