Table Rock State Park


Back in October I decided to revisit Table Rock with my daugher and her friend. I hiked this mountain earlier in the year when I was 50 lbs heavier and it nearly killed me. I was anxious to see how I could do with the weight off. This hike would be considered a strenuous hike with about 2400 feet of elevation gain. To be honest, this hike still kicked my butt. The next day my quads were soar as hell. But to my surprise I didn't stop hiking until I reached the top, unlike last time when I must have stopped two dozen times. 



This is not the summit but the farthest point from the trail head. It has the best views. 



My daughter and her boy friend at one of the falls. 



Although not the tallest of mountains this hike will kick your butt due to the steep grades. 



A rain cloud in the distance. 



This is a beautiful forest with some beautiful people in it. 



Steps made out of the land. 



This was a fun day. We ended up going to Greenville SC afterwards and having a cold beer and a meal at Blue Ridge Brewery. I can't wait to do it again.
