Southern Charm - Rock Hill to Greenwood, South Carolina
By Erin Vorhies

Tucked neatly between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean is humble Upcountry South Carolina. Revolutionary War and Civil War battlefields engage generations of history enthusiasts, while forests, rivers, and steep waterfalls create a natural playground. Beginning in Rock Hill, this drive along rolling country roads heads north to follow the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Highway (SC 11), then continues south to Abbeville and Greenwood. The scenery and adventure opportunities abound amid the Deep South’s truest charms: history and hospitality.

Best known: Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte; Chattooga River (film site for Deliverance); Cowpens National Battlefield in Gaffney; Clemson University in Clemson.
