Top 4 Luxury Activities in the Carolina Mountains

1. Hike the Blue Ridge Mountains

There’s never a shortage of things to do when it comes to activities in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There’s so much of the mountainous terrain to uncover, as it offers easy access to all kinds of hiking adventures, from short walks to day-long treks.

Hiking is the pinnacle of Blue Ridge Mountains activities — as it serves as a base camp for up to 6,000 ft mountain trails! Meandering through the Carolinas, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer exceptionally high-elevation views from the overlooks scattered throughout its path. So, grab your hiking boots, hit the Parkway and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!

2. Enjoy a Lake Day

You know what they say — life is better on the lake! Time spent on Lake Keowee is soothing and serene, with the warmth of the sun on your skin, soft sand between your toes, and vistas of crystal blue waters as far as the eye can see. This huge lake in Upstate South Carolina has more than 300 miles of coastline and is recognized for its wealth of watersports and activities, making it a great spot for a day spent on the water.

At Lake Keowee, the possibilities are endless! A lake day offers the opportunity to spend time outdoors with your friends and family while taking in the breathtaking scenery the lake provides!
