This year, make it a must-do to get outdoors and see some of South Carolina’s most beautiful mountain vistas. There’s nothing like fresh mountain air and a stunning landscape to lift your spirits.

Below are five of South Carolina’s must-see mountain views:

1. Pretty Place: A favorite wedding venue, this sweet spot features an open-air chapel overlooking the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. A short walk from the parking area is all that’s required to enjoy the spectacular view.

2. Jumping Off Rock: You don’t need to hike to take in the “hallmark view” of the Jocassee Gorges. But fasten your seat belt! It’s a bumpy ride up a winding road to the overlook.

3. Caesars Head: Set on a huge granite outcropping, the wheelchair-accessible observation platform offers a fantastic panorama of the Blue Ridge Escarpment rising 2,000 feet from the rolling hills of the piedmont below.

4. Table Rock: South Carolina’s most photographed natural wonder, this 3,100-foot-high granite dome overlooks the vibrant blue waters of the Table Rock Reservoir. Make note: It’s a strenuous 3.4-mile hike to the top.

5. Sassafras Mountain: At 3,560 feet, it takes on the title of the highest point in South Carolina. You can drive up to a viewing platform erected at the peak and see all the way from Whiteside Mountain in North Carolina down to Lake Jocassee, Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell.
