We were looking for a backpacking trip in South Carolina that we could do in 2-3 days and then go visit Leann’s sister. We read about Jones Gap (Mountain Bridge Wilderness) and decided to give it a try.

Day 1: Caesar’s Head State Park to camp on Middle Saluda River
Turns out this was a lot harder trail than I thought it would be, up, down and around rocks all day
At least we didn’t have to climb the rocks, the ladder came in handy.
We found a nice campsite surrounded by rhododendrons, we had the trail to ourselves
Day 2: Followed Middle Saluda up stream to our second camp
Jamie and Leann
Another nice campsite, this is hard to duplicate with car camping
Day 3: back to the car
Jamie really wanted to hit IHOP the next morning for breakfast, she was disappointed
HAPPY TRAILS, STEVE
