Fantastic Spring Events to Look Forward to at The Cliffs 

Nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, spring has sprung at The Cliffs –– and as a club member, you have the world at your fingertips! The sunny weather, coupled with the outstanding amenities, makes for a beautiful time of year. Look at the exciting spring events you can participate in this season to make the most of the warmer weather in the Carolinas. 

1. Lose Yourself Among the Wildflowers

The natural beauty found at The Cliffs is unlike any other. The landscape is serene, and you can’t help but let it pull you in. In springtime, thousands of wildflowers blossom as the weather warms and the skies turn blue. Overnight, the once-empty fields explode with color. We offer once-in-a-lifetime events to strengthen the connection between man and nature, including our guided wildflower tours for the budding botanist. 

Club members can join The Cliff’s Outdoor Pursuits Team and Bruce Lampright on the Appalachian Lumber Trail in Nine Times Preserve for a special guided landscape tour. Bruce Lampright, a renowned former Master Naturalist Instructor, helped found the SC Master Naturalist Program at Clemson University. He is passionate about teaching members how to identify the first of many colorful wildflowers that spring provides.

2. Get Out on the Water

Living at The Cliffs means there’s no shortage of water access. Whether you live lakeside or you prefer to hike to a waterfall, getting out on the water is another excellent way to connect with nature that surrounds you. 

The Jocassee Gorges are some of the most biologically diverse areas of the planet, and they’re located right outside your back door. The landscape’s palette is ever-changing, and April is a great time to see the fleeting wildflowers blooming. Members at The Cliffs have a rare chance to see magnificent wildlife up close and personal thanks to the tours of Jocassee’s stunning waterfalls and lake. Members can even spot bald eagle chicks around the community by the third Thursday in April! 

3. Wander the Miles of Trails

Miles and miles of trails lead in and out of each community at The Cliffs, allowing you to hike or bike at your own pace. If you ask any of our members here, they’ll confirm staying active has never been easier. But why not turn your outing into an opportunity to socialize? Deep in Pisgah National Forest is a two-mile loop with views and moderate climbing. Members can sign up for regular guided hikes each month. The trail meanders along scenic areas and provides views of a winding creek while giving you an excellent, heart-pumping workout.
