Why choose Columbia?
USC students go to a scho<
directly between the beach and tl
mountains.
Every year, students take a bre?

dreds of foot trails and several bil

The most popular hikining trs
in the state is the one that leads

:k Planning for hikes is important,
id It is a good idea to invest in a pair
re of hiking boots that provide good
m ankle support. A broken ankle on
the trail can ruin a vacation.
3- Also, make sure to take plenty of
id fresh water. Drinking from natural
rs springs or mountain rivers may
ty sound natural, but it's not very
5s healthy. Take enough food for the
le trip, even if it's only a day-hike,
le One of the most important things Ch
as to remember about hiking in the
id mountains is that people are the
guests. Make sure not to leave any
le trash for the next person to clean
a up. Littering, especially on nature
til trails, ruins the experience for
pr pvprvnnp
ce Finally, don't ever hike alone,
to Anything can happen on the trails,
and it's just a good idea to travel I
with others. V
ce Finding a place to enjoy beauti
of ful scenery isn't a hard thing to do
If in South Caolina, but if it's the
jn mountain trails you crave, the
at Upstate is full of them. ^
