One of the most iconic and hardest trails in the area has to be the Table Rock Trail. If you’re new to the area, Table Rock is a mountain located less than an hour from Greenville. It’s easily recognizable by its granite, south facing dome. It is beautiful. And oh yea, you can hike to the top of it for some killer views. But are you prepared?

The Table Rock Trail is located inside Table Rock State Park. The park itself has numerous trails, but the Table Rock Trail has to be the most popular. And it is popular. Expect the parking lot to fill up quick in the mornings on weekends year round.

But the main thing to keep in mind when hiking Table Rock is its elevation. This is not an easy hike. In fact it may just be the hardest trail I’ve ever hiked (and I’ve hiked it 3 times). This is due not only to the steepness of its elevation, but also its length. You are basically on a freaking stairclimber to the top.

The first half of the hike does end at a great view (and a small shelter with some benches). It’s still a hard hike to this viewpoint, so for some this is where you turn around.

But if you make it to the end (which is actually a bit past the summit - which is marked by a sign), you can sit back and relax.
