Hey SCNPS super fans! We know this is short notice but are you ready for something special?

Mark your calendars for a thrilling field trip to Cane Creek in the breathtaking Jocassee Gorges. On Saturday, March 23, 2024, from 10 am to 3 pm, join our dynamic duo, Dan Whitten and Rick Huffman, for an unforgettable day of exploration and discovery.

This isn’t your average stroll in the park. We’re talking about a real adventure here, folks. Picture this: wandering up an old railroad bed, creek crossings where you might get a tad wet (or skillfully hop from rock to rock), and meandering off-trail to seek out those hidden gems of wildflowers and intriguing plants.

We’re capping the group at 15 lucky adventurers, so you’re sure to have a cozy and interactive experience. It’s all about quality, not quantity, ensuring you get the most out of this journey with personal guidance from Dan and Rick.

Key Details:

Date and Time: March 23, 2024, 10 am to 3 pm
Activity: An adventurous hike through Cane Creek, complete with creek crossings and a wildflower hunt
Hike Leaders: Led by the legendary Dan Whitten and Rick Huffman
Bring: Your spirit of adventure, water, lunch, dress for the weather, and a camera for those “wow” moments.

Want in? Dash off an email to upstatefieldtrips@scnps.org and don’t forget to include your phone number. We’ll hit you back with the secret trailhead location once you’re confirmed. But hurry – these spots are like hotcakes, and they’re going fast!
