Specialty Adventures

Turtleback Falls

Waterfall Adventure!

- Backpack into a semi primative campsite
- Explore moderate, (moderately strenuous and strenuous - optional) trails
- Visit several spectacular waterfalls
- Top it off by sliding down Turtleback Falls and dropping into the river below!

This 2-3 day adventure is awesome for those looking for several activities in one!
As always, if you reserve as a group, I can mold the experience specifically for your group.

Paddling

SUPs - Stand Up Paddle Boards

Get ready for an awesome workout! SUPs are truly full body workouts and also happen to be a lot of fun at the same time!
On the lake or on calm sections of the rivers!

Sunset Canoeing on Lake Murray - “The Jewel of South Carolina”

Enjoy a relaxing evening paddling on Lake Murray as the sun goes down.

Moonlight Canoeing on Lake Murray - “The Jewel of South Carolina”

Wind down the day with a peaceful night paddle on Lake Murray, moonlight glistening on the water.

Kayaking or Canoeing on the Saluda or Congaree River

Call to schedule a day and time. I am very flexible and want to work around your schedule.

This experience provides the opportunity to enjoy a nice calm paddle through downtown Columbia or step it up a bit and add the thrill of whitewater. I can change the trip up depending on experience levels.

Paddling on the Congaree River

Paddling on the Saluda River


Kayaking or Canoeing on the Lower Broad River

Call to schedule a day and time. I am very flexible and want to work around your schedule.

The Lower Broad River is a section that provides a remote experience that very few people visit. Wildlife abounds through this area. Depending upon water level, small (class I) rapids may form that are easy to navigate. At lower levels, some areas could allow the experience of portaging. This is a long day trip that covers approximately 17 1/2 miles.


Hiking

Palmetto Trail

Price will vary based on desired section.

The Palmetto Trail is a relatively new gift to SC. It was established in 1994 and when finished will cover 500 continuous miles from Walhalla in the Blue Ridge Mountains to Awendaw on the Intracoastal Waterway.
This trail system is still in progress, but there are many great sections that can be completed individually.

Peachtree Rock

Peachtree Rock hosts some impressive sandstone formations as well as the only naturally forming waterfall in the midlands.
The formation known as Peachtree Rock is a magnificent example of the power of water over time. In its prime, the formation stood as an upside down pyramid defying gravity. In recent years, it has since fallen, but still an impressive sight.

This area offers several miles of easy terrain and the experience can be as long or short as desired. I have had several people comment on the fact that it really feels like you are way out there and removed from civilization even though it is right in our backyard.

Harbison State Forest

Harbison State Forest boasts several miles of interconnected trails that are very well maintained.
There are many levels of difficulty great for anyone just starting out or even seasoned hikers.

There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle, but this can be avoided if I provide transportation.

Climbing

Top Rope Climbing / Rappelling at Crowders Mountain

Call to schedule a day and time. I am very flexible and want to work around your schedule.

This exciting adventure will really get your blood pumping!
We can either do a 1 day or 2 nights camping at Kings Mountain and a full day hiking and climbing at Crowders Mountain!

For the 1 day, we would drive up early in the morning, hike and climb all day and then return late in the day. Lunch will be provided on trail.

For the 2 nights, we would setup camp at Kings Mountain, eat dinner and settle in on the first evening. The next morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast before we load up and head to Crowders. Once at Crowders, hike the scenic trail (approximately 1 mile) to the climbing area. Now we climb and rappel to our hearts content (lunch will be provided on trail) and head back to camp when ready to relax for the evening. In the morning, pack up and head home with some great memories!

Personalized Adventures

Looking for something completely different and unique?

I would be happy to work with you to build a personalized outdoor experience that you will absolutely love!
This could be something as simple as an afternoon hike or short paddle down a river to multi-day backcountry camping. I can even put together options that combine these activities.

Once we have decided what we would like to do, I do all the heavy lifting: planning, preparation, appropriate permits, equipment, food (even cooking :) ), etc. All you have to do is bring yourself and personal items.

I will then put together a personalized proposal that covers everything you need to know all the way down to a suggested packing list specific to your personalized experience!
You are involved in the entire process so that you have the best possible experience. I am extremely flexible and am always open to going with the flow and changes as necessary.

Prices will vary depending upon what is desired.
Travel for out of town additional. (Based upon distance.)
