Mondays are more exciting and productive when I spend my weekends in a way that bring me peace and not problems.
Yellow Branch Falls trail leads to this 50 foot uniquely shaped cascade. This 3 mile hike is best after a rainy day and recommend starting before 7am if you want to avoid people.
In order to get here from Walhalla, drive west on SC 28 for 6.8 miles and left turn into Yellow Branch Picnic Ground (open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. year round). p.s: Make sure you wear sturdy shoes as there are a few slippery spots. It is a dog friendly trail 🐶
Thank you @sarahephotographyllc for taking your time early in the morning on a busy day to come shoot a few photos with us! .
