One hundred and eighteen miles long, the
Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway between
Gaffney and Fair Play skirts the Blue Ridge Mountains,
the ancestral home of the Cherokee, past Lake Keowee
and Cowpens National Battlefield. Lunch midway
could be at Victoria Valley Vineyards (victoriavalleyvineyards.com) in Cleveland.
The intrepid will continue on from Cherokee
Foothills National Scenic Byway in Fairplay to the
100-mile Savannah River Scenic Byway, the northern portions of which are in the magazine's mountainregion coverage area. Start your tour with a stay at The
Bleckley Inn (bleckleyinn.com) in Anderson and its
famous breakfast casserole.
If you're looking for classic cars, you should be
looking at Classic Cars of South Carolina (classiccarsofsc.com), a dealership in Gray Court that traffics in
collector cars from all over the U.S. and two dozen
other countries. In Greenville, Dream Cars of the
Carolinas has all manner of muscle-bound Camaros,
Novas, Firebirds and Mustangs.
Motorcyclists love the switchback riding on U.S.
178 from Interstate 85 near Anderson north to U.S.
64 in North Carolina near Brevard. No steep inclines
means there is ample opportunity to enjoy to scenery,
especially in fall when the leaves break out in a riot of
colors. Brevard's music scene is second only to its inns
and restaurants. Oskar Blues Brewery in town is a
major-league craft beer maker.
