Event details

For an early start that pays off in panoramic views, join the Sunrise Hike at Table Rock State Park in the Blue Ridge foothills. Hike by headlamp toward the summit, then watch dawn light up the forests, cliffs, and the lake below before heading back down.

Plan on layers and a thermos, and bring sturdy shoes for rocky sections. Afterward, refuel in nearby Pickens or keep exploring with a gentle loop around Lake Pinnacle and its streams and cascades.
