Amazing Spots to See Sunrise and Sunset Near Greenville, SC

There’s nothing quite that feeling of being the first to see the sun creep over the horizon or the last to see it go down over the mountains. In higher elevations, you just never know what you’re going to see, how the clouds will sweep over the cliffs and summits or layer just right to set up a once-in-a-lifetime photo.

Since we live in the foothills, you’ll have to travel a bit to get to those higher elevations for gorgeous sunrises and sunsets but we think you’ll find some good spots with our list. As always, practice Leave No Trace principles so we can all enjoy the beautiful outdoors!

We are also including a map here since many of the places don’t have a traditional address. The list is organized by driving distance from Greenville.

Views from this firetower off the Blue Ridge Parkway are unparalleled. Of course, you need to climb the rickety tower but hey, I’ve done it several times and made it down to tell the tale.

Hours: While the trail is never closed, the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed during the winter, making the trail inaccessible during that time.
Hike: 1.2 miles round trip

Max Patch

The sunrise I saw through the clouds at Max Patch is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking I had ever seen.

Snow Tubing at Zip ‘N Slip in Mars Hill, NC Delivers Fast, Wintry Fun

Head up to Zip ‘N Slip in Mars Hill, NC for a fun, fast ride on any of their eight snow tubing lanes. We checked them out (several times) and have all the details on enjoying this fun, winter entertainment. (Updated with our 2026 visit!)

You cannot miss Zip ‘N Slip Snow Tubing Park in Mars Hill, North Carolina. It’s right off Highway 26 heading through NC towards Tennessee, about an hour and 40 minutes from Greenville, SC. And wow, you’re in for some fast and fun rides at this snow tubing park.

Want more? Here’s our guide to all the fun places to hit the slopes.

About Zip ‘N Slip Snow Tubing Park

Zip ‘N Slip has eight snow tubing lanes that can run more than 800 feet long in optimal snow conditions. How long is that in terms of flying down on a tube? About 20 seconds! It’s really fast, especially in colder weather.

My kids – ages 13 and 9 – had a blast at this snow tubing park, and it was well worth the drive up there. The owner, Andy, is really nice and has owned the property for more than a decade. He initially wanted to build a hotel and shopping center on the property, but ended up having so much fun with the snow tubing park that he kept the fun winter activity as it was and just updated the park and equipment!

There are eight snow tubing lanes. At least there were when we went. Because of weather and snow-making abilities, this can definitely change each season, or each week, or month, as the park is able to create the snow needed for the hill. If you get to go when there is natural snow, then it’s even more fun. It is always a good idea to visit the social media pages or website of any seasonal activity before you head out to check out the current conditions.

There are heated bathrooms at Zip ‘N Slip, as well as hot chocolate and apple cider for sale. They also give every rider two free marshmallows to roast over the fire pit. We saw plenty of kids with sticky fingers enjoying these treats! They sell concessions like hot dogs and nachos in their store, and they host a food truck from High Ridge Adventures every day at lunchtime for those who want to try some incredible brisket or other barbecued favorites.

If you forget your winter gear like hats, gloves, or even socks, you can purchase them at the park.

Tubing at Zip ‘N Slip

Tubing at Zip ‘N Slip was unlike most places I’ve been because the guests, once they got their safety briefing and tickets, were pretty much on their own. It was definitely fun but like the Wild West of tubing.

Zip ‘N Slip limits ticket sales to help reduce crowding, so they very often sell out on weekends, especially holiday weekends. Advance reservations are highly recommended to guarantee a spot on the slopes, and we suggest buying your tickets for the earliest hour available for the lowest crowds.

Once you get your tube, you’ll head over to the Magic Carpet ride, a moving sidewalk that will carry you and your tube to the top of the hill. Pro tip: Lean forward so you don’t fall backwards, and let young children ride in the tube while you hang onto the strap. Once you get to the top of the hill, step quickly and carefully onto the platform on the left and keep moving, keeping in mind that there are other people coming up behind you who need somewhere to land.

Tubing at Zip 'N Slip — Tubing at Zip ‘N Slip

There aren’t any staff members at the top of the hill, so you just choose your lane and go straight down. Sometimes a line can form right at the top of the moving sidewalk, but if you just excuse your way through the group, you can generally find more elbow room and a shorter wait at the lanes on the far side of the hill. Because there are eight lanes, we got in a lot of runs and rarely had to wait for a spot.

But it does get a little tricky at the top pulling a tube amongst other people while navigating snow. I slipped twice, but in my defense, it was a little icy. And I’m clumsy. I was fine. Just be aware of the risk for slips, especially as the day goes on and the snow at the top of the hill gets more compact.

Once you choose your lane, put your tube strap inside the tube, and then get in and shimmy to the edge of the great abyss, uh, lane. It’s very important to check to make sure no one is at the bottom of your lane before you start moving, because there’s no stopping once you’ve started. If someone is there, wait until they are clear before you go. Wait for them to get out of the way and then shimmy your tube closer – or get someone to push you – to the edge and go down. Wheeee!

Once you get down to the bottom, get out of your tube, grab the strap, and get out of the way. Fast. I cannot emphasize how fast you need to move once you are at the bottom. There are no staff to tell you to get out of the way or telling anyone at top when they can or cannot go.

You’re responsible for getting out of the way, so do it, and impress the importance of this to your kids: People are going to come speeding down those lanes, whether you’re paying attention or not.

And have fun! Depending on how many people are there, you may get through a lot of runs during your time on the hill. I can’t even count how many times my kids and I went down. It was probably at least 30 times. We had the first slot of the day when we went at 10 am and it wasn’t sold out. The slot at Noon was sold out and there were definitely more people. So when you go, maybe choose the earlier time slot.

Zip ‘N Slip also contracts with a professional photography group to offer high-resolution photos of the experience to visitors. You can approach a photographer to request a family photo, or just let them get plenty of candids while you’re on the slopes. After you’re done tubing, stop by the photo center to browse pictures by time slot. The photographers generally upload their pictures between every two-hour session, so you may want to hang out for a bit after you’re done tubing to make sure you can see all your pictures before you go.

Be aware that these souvenir photos are very expensive, and there are discounts when you buy five or more. You can get prints or digitals, and we recommend going with the digitals to print yourself, but be sure to check your email inbox to make sure you receive the ones you order before leaving the park.

Tips on Visiting Zip ‘N Slip

We’ve been snow tubing to several places and some of these tips follow our previous advice but read on because a few are very specific to Zip ‘N Slip:

Bring a change of clothes: Depending on the weather, snow will melt and you’ll get wet. If you don’t want to drive home in wet clothes, bring a change of clothes, socks, and shoes.

Wear layers: We were hot after the first 15 minutes and ended up shedding our hats, gloves, and jacket. It’s best to wear layers, especially if the temperatures will rise while you’re there.

You don’t need snow gear: It’s just snow tubing, and you’re not skiing. Pants and boots, even hiking boots, hats, gloves, and a jacket are fine.

Get out of the way at the bottom of the hill: When you finish your tubing run, move and move fast. The way the lanes are designed, unless you’re in the furthest half of the lanes, you’ll have to walk in front of most of the lanes to get back to the magic carpet. If you don’t move fast, you may be in the way of another tuber coming down the run.

Pay attention: For reasons mentioned above, pay attention to your surroundings, and make sure your kids are watching for fast tubers coming down the lane when they are making their way back around.

Watch the weather: If you’re going up on an unseasonably warm day, check with Zip ‘N Slip to make sure they are operating normally and try to get the first available time slot of the day. You’ll go way faster on colder snow than when it starts to melt in warmer weather.

Keep an eye on your kids: This is standard advice but here, kids need to be watched as they go up the magic carpet and make their way down the lanes and then grabbing their tubes and doing it again. They just need to be aware of their surroundings.

It can get muddy: At the bottom of the tubing hill, there’s a lot of straw and snow, which is great for stopping your tubing run. But when the weather is warm, the snow will melt and it will get muddy. This didn’t bother myself, my kids, and really anyone I saw there but just be aware that you may get dirty and refer to tip #1 about bringing a change of clothes.

Be kind and respectful: We had a blast while tubing, and everyone was great. But during busier times, there may be some jostling of uncontrollable giant tubes at the top, or people not paying attention at the bottom, or people carrying on in all kinds of ways that people generally do. Have patience, be kind, and focus on giving your kids a fun and safe experience.

Tickets to Zip ‘N Slip

You can get tickets for one- or two-hour sessions. One hour is $35/person, and two hours is $50/person. Kids must be at least 3 years old to go tubing, and they do not budge on that rule. Ages 3-5 are free and required to ride in the lap of an adult.

You can – and should, especially on busy holiday weekends – make reservations online. Save time by filling out your waiver and bringing it with you.

Zip ‘N Slip also offers discounted rates for school and homeschool groups of 15 or more.

Hours

The first part of the season runs from about mid-December through mid-January, when the snow tubing park is usually open 9 am – 9 pm on Monday – Saturday and 9 am – 6pm on Sunday. From mid-January through early March, the park is open Friday – Sunday and holidays like President’s Day and MLK Day.

They also have special events like Homeschool Day. Follow the Zip ‘N’ Slip Facebook page for details.

Bonus Day Trip Fun

Because the snow tubing park was a bit of a drive, my kids and I wanted to extend our adventure a bit. So we went to explore nearby Burnsville, NC and had such a great time! The little town has a beautiful downtown and town square. They have several shops that sell homemade items like scarves, clothing, and hats plus an adorable toy store, a huge general store, a specialty tea shop, a beautiful shoe store, and lots more.

While we didn’t eat in Burnsville, there are a couple restaurants plus a coffee shop right along the main street area of the town. We spent about two hours wandering around the shops till our hearts content and could not have been more smitten with the town. I certainly plan to go back and explore it more when we are up in that area again!

Additionally, the Biltmore is on your way back from Greenville if you want to add that to your day trip itinerary.

Go Hiking in the 100 Acre Woods

Does your family like exploring nature? Have you heard of the 100 Acre Woods? Kidding Around’s Melanie discovered a new place to explore, and look for silly old bears. Check out 100 Acre Woods at Southern Wesleyan University.

Tucked away on the fringe of the Southern Wesleyan University campus is a hiking area that you may have heard of in storybooks. While this isn’t the same 100 Acre Woods that A.A. Milne had in mind for Christopher Robin and Pooh, it’s still a wonderful place for curious children and adults to explore.

Looking for more places to hike? Don’t miss our Guide to Hiking in Upstate, SC.

The trailhead is located at the end of Clayton Street on the SWU campus. There aren’t any signs that will point you in the right direction, and you might think you’re lost, but if you just head down the main street through campus, you will pass by a farm and when you get to Potter’s Retreat, take that left.

The 100 Acre Woods offers visitors more than six miles of trails for biking, hiking, birding, and exploring! The new trail system, which is a series of “stacked loop” trails, is a collaboration between Southern Wesleyan and the Town of Central, South Carolina.

Project Manager Curt Kurz-Edsall has hopes that community events will be regularly held at the hiking trails. Mountain biking events and mud runs are things that you can expect to see happen at 100 Acre Woods.

Things to know before you go to 100 Acre Woods

They are open from sunrise to sunset every day
The trail is not stroller-friendly
Stay on the trail and stay to the right. Pass on the left but warn others before passing
Although it might be tempting – hunting, fishing, and camping are all prohibited. As well as tobacco products.
No motorized vehicles are allowed

Where is your favorite place to go for a hike with kids?

This Fascinating Historical Site Is Free to Visit in Pickens, SC

Hagood Mill Historic Site and Folklife Center was built as a grist mill in 1825 by Benjamin Hagood. Today the site is managed by Pickens County Museum and features a grist mill, a working water wheel, historic buildings, and nature trails. It is a beautiful and interesting place to visit, especially if you enjoy stepping back in time and learning what life was like for the people who lived here years ago. Local mom, Kristen Alcock, brings us all the details and helpful hints to make your visit to Hagood Mill a wonderful spring adventure!

Folklife Center

Walking around Hagood Mill, you will see two restored log cabins, a moonshine distillery, a blacksmith shop, and a cotton gin. Inside the cabins are a giant loom, spinning wheel and other historical items. My son loved watching the cotton gin demonstration and touching the raw cotton. “Our favorite part was seeing the grist mill!” said Christel Price, a KAG reader. “The kids loved seeing it in action and learning how the whole process works.”

Nature Trail

The walking trail, through the woods and around historical buildings, is great for hikers of all ages. The trail is unpaved and a little bumpy. It’s short enough for little walkers to manage, and is usually very shady. My family did not walk the entire trail, but Elizabeth Lamb from Hike it Baby Greenville said, “It’s a beautiful 3/4 mile trail with a fun bridge. It’s perfect for young walkers.”

Petroglyph Site

This fascinating archeological site highlights 32 distinct petroglyphs, mostly human forms, and is one of the best petroglyph sites open to the public. Discovered in 1993, it is estimated that the drawings were left by a prehistoric culture 1,500 to 2,000 years ago. The drawings are pretty eroded but the exhibit has a great audio presentation, photographs and explanation of the historical significance of the drawing and the people who left them.

Special Events

My family was lucky enough to visit Hagood Mill during one of their monthly festivals which included banjo and fiddle music, local pottery, as well as moonshine, cotton gin, and gristmill demonstrations. The once-a-month events are noted on their calendar. Hagood Mill holds a kid’s fest in the spring, military celebrations and various music festivals.

This video was originally published on The Stinehart’s YouTube channel and showcases the Storytelling Festival.

Other upcoming events include the annual Fiddling Championship and Storytelling Festival. Look for a Native American Celebration in November and a Celtic Christmas in December.

Hagood Mill also occasionally offers some really interesting classes. Past classes include Hearth Cooking, fermenting wild foods, a Sketchbook workshop, and learning how 19th-century southerners survived winters on the homestead.

Gift Shop

Shop local at the Hagood Mill gift shop. You can buy products such as jams, honey, and jewelry, pottery and soaps made by local artists. They also have books about local history, t-shirts and CDs. The gift shop also sells cornmeal and stone ground grits made right there at the grist mill!

We read a book that mentioned mills and what they do before our visit and it helped my son understand what he was seeing. Here are a few books that mention gristmills and petroglyphs:

Spend A Fall Day At Stewart Farms In Enoree, South Carolina

Have you visited Stewart Farms in Enoree, SC? This family-owned farm has an off-the-vine u-pick pumpkin patch in the fall that is charming and so much fun! The farm is perfect for a family outing because of the number of family-friendly activities there are to enjoy! We ventured off to Enoree, SC to explore the pumpkin patch, enjoy a hay ride through the woods, and get lost in a corn maze to see just how much fun you can fit into a day at Stewart Farms!

Want more fall fun?

Check out our Fall Guide to Greenville

Arriving at Stewart Farms

Stewart Farms is located in Enoree, SC, about 40 minutes from downtown Greenville. Once you arrive, you will pass the market to your right. The market store is where you will pay for the activities you participated in or for the pumpkins you picked. However, you pay when you are leaving the farm, not before. An attendant will give you a sheet of paper with all the activities available down on the farm, and they will be marked off as you go through your day. Some tips before you arrive include:

Bring hats, sunscreen, or even a sunshade umbrella. The pumpkin patch and corn maze get hot, even in the fall, and do not have shade.
Parking is free, and is located near the pumpkin patch entrance.
There are plenty of shaded picnic tables, so you can bring your own lunch if you would like, or concessions are available to purchase.
Strollers are recommended for younger children, but we recommend a carrier for babies and toddlers for the wagon ride so you’re not having to hold them still the entire ride.
There are port-o-potties on site.
Stewart Farms has a strict no-pet policy.

The U-Pick Pumpkin Patch at Stewart Farms

When you walk up to the pumpkin patch, you will be greeted by an attendant who will offer a wagon and sheers to cut your pumpkin off the vine with. Take the wagon! You will need it for the pumpkin collecting you are about to embark on, and it makes things so much easier. The farm has pumpkins of varying shapes and sizes located throughout dozens of rows, so you can choose what works for your fall decor or Halloween decorating ideas. If the rows near the entrance are a little lackluster, head to the back of the patch where there are usually more pumpkins available.

Pumpkins cost $0.60 per lb. Once you’re finished picking your pumpkins, the attendant will weigh your pumpkins and mark your slip of paper to turn into the farm market for payment, and you can haul your pumpkins to your car using the wagon. Remember, do not cut a pumpkin off the vine if you do not plan to buy it. Also, be mindful of the vines when cutting yours off. Keep the patch happy so everyone can enjoy it. The patch closes at dark, so make sure you arrive in time to explore it!

The SC Corn Maize

Ready to get lost in the corn? The Stewart Farms corn maze is a welcome challenge for families to enjoy together. The 2024 maize can be challenging, so make sure you allot enough time to enjoy it. If you have young children, we definitely recommend taking a stroller or personal wagon through the maze, those little legs will get tired. It costs $8.00 for ages 6 and older to go through the 2024 Corn Maize.

Wagon Rides at Stewart Farms

The wagon ride through Stewart Farms is charming, making it one of our favorite activities. The wagon is tractor led and pulls a large trailer with seats and gates. The majority of the wagon ride is through the woods, where you can look for fall decorations, Halloween displays, and old farm equipment while taking in the earthy smells, leaves changing color, and cooler weather. The wait to get on the wagon can take some time on busy days, but most of the line forms in the shade and the ride itself is worth it! The wagon ride takes about 25 minutes to complete, so make sure your kids take a snack and bathroom break beforehand. The wagon ride costs $5 per person and is free for children 2 and under.

Stewart Farms Nighttime Activities

If you’re looking for some spooky activities to go along with your trip to Stewart Farms, then make sure to go in the evening! The farm offers several nights in October where you can take a Nightime Wagon Ride or explore the Big Boo Haunted Maize. The wagon ride ventures through the woods where you will see lit jack-o-lanterns and spooky Halloween scenes and decorations. The Big Boo Haunted Maize is family-friendly, but it does get a little creepy in the maize at night so it is only recommended for ages 6 and older. The night activities begin at sundown and go on until 10 pm (gates close at 9, farm closes at 10).

Farm Animals to Visit

Stewart Farms has a small section of farm animals that your kids will love visiting. The goats are the most interactive, and the attendant will give your kids some hay to feed them through their enclosure. There are also ducks, pigs, and a cow to meet.

The Courtyard and Concessions

Located at the center of the farm is the courtyard. There are snowcones for purchase from Brain Freeze and a concessions truck that sells food, sweet treats, drinks, and more. There are also 12 shaded picnic tables to enjoy your food at, or you can snag one of the standing shaded tables as well. The courtyard is the perfect place to rest and let your kids get their energy out and run around the field. There are also several photo opportunity spots lined along the cornfields. The Bee Barn is also located in the courtyard, and is a fascinating way to watch the bees maintain their hive!

Stop, Park, and Pay Before you Leave

Unlike some places where you pay beforehand, Stewart Farms has you enjoy the farm activities before paying. Once you leave the activity area and drive out of the parking lot, you will head back to the market store you pass when you first entered. Remember to stop, park, and pay! This is where you will pay for the pumpkins you purchased, and any other activities you engaged in down on the farm. You can also stock up on local goods, home decor, and seasonal flowers at the market before you leave the farm.

What to expect if you visit Dupont State Park

To maximize a visit to DuPont, park in the Hooker Falls area on Staton Road and combine the Triple Falls Trail, the High Falls Trail and Hooker Falls Road for an unforgettable, three mile hike to visit three of the most popular and beautiful falls in the area. Two of them (Triple and Hooker Falls) you might recognize from the movie The Hunger Games, a portion of which was filmed in DuPont in 2011, and Triple Falls featured prominently in the movie Last of the Mohicans.

Just a short ½ mile from the Hooker Falls parking area you’ll reach Triple Falls, with three distinct cascades that drop 120 feet in total. The first overlook is just a short distance from the parking lot, and a few hundred feet further is the spur trail that leads down to the large rocky area between the falls. Bring a picnic to enjoy the spectacle – natural and human – before jumping back on the main trail.

Triple Falls trail and High Falls trail form a loop, but you can choose to stick close to Little River on High Falls trail and cut out a bit of the mileage by doing a there-and-back. (Triple Falls trail heads west, hitting Buck Forest Road and intersecting with High Falls trail and the Covered Bridge Trail about 1/3 mile from High Falls). To reach the base of the 150-foot cascade, take a detour on the short River Bend spur trail for a memorable view of the falls and the covered bridge at the top.

High Falls is the largest waterfall in the area, and together with the beautiful covered bridge was part of a planned real estate development in 2000. After a lengthy legal battle the state was able to purchase the land from the developer, ensuring the view of the falls would be preserved. The trail leading to High Falls is somewhat steep, so make sure to bring water and to set a comfortable pace in the summer heat.

Once you’ve retraced your steps to the parking area and crossed back under Staton Road, you’ll turn west on Hooker Falls trail. Make sure to pause at the observation area above the falls before circling down to the base of the 12 foot waterfall. From the popular swimming hole at the base of the falls, Little River flows on into Cascade Lake, outside of the state forest’s boundaries. The hike to the falls is relatively easy, a mildly sloping 0.4 miles down a gravel road.

These three DuPont waterfalls make for a perfect year-round destination. The weekends during the summer will find a crowd at Hooker Falls, cooling down in the natural swimming hole, meanwhile autumn brings unparalleled fall foliage to the views around High Falls. Winter will decorate the waterfalls in ice, and finally spring means wildflowers and the return of the Blue Ghost Firefly. Whichever season you visit, you’ll find the scenic and tranquil beauty of DuPont State Forest and its waterfalls a memorable experience you’ll want to repeat again and again.

Carolina Dance Collaborative: “Thrilling” Downtown Greenville With Their Annual Flash Mob

Carolina Dance Collaborative, a 501c3 non-profit mobile dance outreach organization, was founded by Alyson Amato and Kelsey Crum in 2015. The two women saw a need for dance in the community to be accessible to everyone and brought it to the Upstate in a mobile fashion.

CDC performs many flash mobs throughout the year, including CDC & Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery staff at their 80’s Prom Fundraiser, the Pickens County Disability and Special Needs Board at an upcoming event, as well as their Adaptive Christmas Flash Mob opening the Christmas Parade each year. Outdoor flash mobs are a large part of their organization’s vision, in seeing the community come together through dance. This newly formed flash mob brings all their student groups together, fulfills their community collaboration mission, and values all people as artists. Additionally, they are bringing together dancers & non-dancers alike for an Inclusive Thriller-themed flash mob this October.

CDC established an adaptive branch of their organization that teaches individuals, child through adult, with disabilities. This branch reaches special education classrooms in Greenville County High Schools and autism therapy clinics, adult day service facilities, and more. Kelsey and Alyson wanted their adaptive component to intermingle with their YMCA, after-school, and adult through senior-citizen branches to create a place where all feel welcomed and accepted; a position where different kinds of people, regardless of their abilities, can have fun together through dance.

You Can Be a Part of the Flash Mob, Too!

In past years, over 100 people of all ages and abilities participated in this free event!

All people, ages six and up, regardless of their ability, are encouraged to join in on the fun. Participation is free; they only ask that each participant commits to being present for the rehearsals and the performance.

October 3rd, 2024 – Rehearsal | 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Kroc Center
October 10th, 2024 – Rehearsal | 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Kroc Center
