THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
The mountain sections of the
Carolinias are incomparable in
the fall of the year, when the
»lors are changing and the air
i crisp. It’s well worth a week
end drive, or a whole vacation,
to the Blue Ridge section of
South Carolina, and even be
yond to our neighbor state to
the north.
Starting around Clemson, you
can take a leisurely drive
through this impressive and
growing campus, and then stop
by Fort Hill, family homo of
John C. Calhoun. From here, fol
low U. S. 76 and 128 to Seneca,
and then take S. C. 28 northward.
Before reaching WalhaBa, you
will want to see Old Stone Church,
burial place of General Andrew
Pickens, and Stumphouse Moun
tain Tunnel, the ‘'White ele-
288, 11 and 278 to Caesar’s Head,
some 3,277 feet high, and one of
the beauty spots of the ‘high’
country. If you really feel ener
getic, you can climb Sassafras
Mountain, located not far away,
and you will be at the highest
point in South Carolina, 8,548 feet
above sea level.
At Caesar’s Head, you can take

One of the famous attractions
of the area is Biltmore House and
Gardens, just south of the city.
The gigantic “castle-like” house
is designed after the French Re
naissance period. It was built by
George Vanderbilt in 1806. The
huge estate, which once Included
145,000 acres, resembles

Vanderbilt’s widow donated a
good part of the land to establish
what is now Pisgah National
Forest. Presently, the estate cov

A visit to the mountains of
North and South Carolina can
really make you feel as if you
had been to “the top of the
world.”
