Just go here. As you drive along the very well paved winding mountain road through the forest, there are many turn off points which are well signed that lead to all manner of natural splendor. Many beautiful waterfalls, some of which you can Wade in the pools of, many beautiful Rocky cliffs, some of which you can jump off of, endless miles of crystal clear Rivers, that you can walk through, swim in, fish on etc. There are also many areas or you can pull off to have lunch, some with barbecues and picnic tables, some more primitive. There are busy places, solitary places and everything in between. There's miles and miles of biking and hiking trails. Whatever natural outdoor thrill you're looking for is very likely here, The vast majority of it is free, some attractions cost just a few bucks. For sure one of my favorite places to take my family.

This is a summer open air chapel with a different visiting minister each Sunday. The chapel is open one week before Memorial Day weekend through one week after Labor Day weekend. It is beautiful spiritual setting nestled slightly off the road in a wooded area. Faith Memorial Chapel was founded as Faith Chapel in the last part of the nineteenth century by the Rt. Reverend Ellison Capers D.D., the Confederate general, who later became Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina. The current chapel was constructed on land given in memory of Eugene Earle and Floride Lidia Croft Stone by their children. On July 10, 1938, Dr. Mitchell conducted the first worship service in the rustic log and stone chapel with a flagstone floor. At that time, Faith Memorial Chapel was dedicated to the memory of Bishop Capers. The existing chapel has seen several physical expansions, the last in 1994. From 1938 the attendance has grown in number and denominational preferences. Outstanding clergy representing many denominations have been included in the yearly summer programs. Check the website for this years list of clergy and musicians. Get there early for close parking and easy in and out. They do have a small handicap area. Christian funeral / memorial services may be held at Faith Memorial Chapel during the time the Chapel is Open. Family members of trustees, past and present, or summer congregation friends of the Chapel sponsored by a trustee are eligible. All arrangements, including who is officiating, must be provided upon application.
