US State Highpointing: Sunset on Sassafras Mountain, the highest point in South Carolina

Sassafras Mountain is the highest point in South Carolina. It's located in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of the south eastern United States. Sassafras Mountain reaches an elevation of
3,560 feet above sea level. It is situated on the border between South Carolina and North
Carolina, in Pickens County, South Carolina, and Transylvania County, North Carolina.
Sassafras Mountain features an observation tower that allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. From the top, four states can be seen. The Foothills Trail is a long-distance hiking trail that stretches for about 76 miles through the Upstate region of South Carolina, passes near Sassafras Mountain. We got there about 15 minutes before the sun was ready to drop. See what a sunset looks like from the top of South Carolina!
