Crowder State Park, Boulder Access

The trail starts behind the rangers station at Crowder Mountain SP and we followed it until it intersects with the Kings Mountain National Military Trail and then returned back to ranger station.  It was 7.3 miles and 718 EG.  















Green Triangle Trail in Fant's Grove

Hiked the Green Triangle trail in Fant's Grove.  The Butch Kennedy trailhead parking is behind the T Ed Harrison Arena.  This is a loop trail that hugs the lake for a little while.  This is part of the Clemson Experimental Forest.  It was 6.5 miles and 423 EG.  A long loop with very little elevation gain.

World's Edge and Sugarloaf Mountain

 Led a hike with my hiking group to Worlds Edge and then up to Sugarloaf Mountain.  We did a little bushwhacking to see all the pretty views at World's Edge.  Then we followed the trail to the bottom and then uphill on the way out.  The spur trail to get to Worlds Edge from Sugarloaf Mountain is not well maintained but you can still find your way.  Lots of leaves, roots, and rocks.  Then we followed the road to the top of Sugarloaf mtn to a locked gate and then turned around.  It ended up being 8.3 miles and 1612 EG.  It's the dark purple line on the map below.  You park on the side of the road once the pavement ends after In Jesus Name Church in Hendersonville.  The pictures don't do it justice.  Great views!
