South Carolina, Folly Beach
Get a friend or two and get out of the cold and damp spring weather and travel with Adventure Trek USA to the coast of South Carolina Folly Beach. You will be surfing, kayaking, biking, hiking and much more. Adventure Trek USA has an adventure shop on Folly Beach SC and will be renting a large Island House while in SC. We will start our trip off at 5pm on Friday April 20th and get into our van to begin our journey south. We will drive all night Friday to avoid traffic all the way to Charleston SC. This trip will take us about 16 hours so we will be getting in Charleston early Saturday morning. Once we get rested up we will start exploring. We will start our first adventure Sunday with a great paddle in the SC Black-water Swamps and see giant 1000 year old Bald Cypress trees can be seen in the upper section and Water Oak, Water Ash, Red Maple and Swamp Dogwood shade the banks of its pristine black waters. It offers spectacular birding and wildlife viewing. Banks of the river reflect geological precedence of the rice era where historical earthen dikes give way to a flooded subtropical forest of abandoned rice fields once owned by prosperous Rice Plantations. When the tour is over we will get ready to walk around beautiful down town Charleston where we will get dinner and possibly catch a movie. Monday we will be going to the beach and trying out surfing and skim boarding. We will bring foot balls and Frisbees to toss also.

We will be at Folly Beach and be learning how to surf and learn all the rules of surfing. Tuesday everyone will be getting fitted to bikes for a day of biking around the low country of Charleston. We will be checking out historic Charleston. Forget the horse-drawn carriages: historic Charleston is best viewed by bicycle and that is what we will do. We will travel by bike and visit some of the great places in the city and by the shore. This is a great fun filled day where the kids will learn get exercise and be challenged. Wednesday 1/2 our group will get ready to go on a chartered fishing trip while the other try SUP boarding. Then on Thursday the two groups will switch and one will go fishing while the other SUP boarding. Thursday is another beach day.

A picnic lunch will be served at the Englewood Trailhead between the two climbs to allow adequate rest and regrouping. With the altitude gain of over 1600 feet ending at an altitude of 6,000 ft. this is a strenuous day for most people.

An additional 8 miles of downhill and next to several cascading rapids and falls, will take us to our picnic lunch stop at the Mystic trailhead. Following lunch is our climb for the day of 6 miles, not steep but tiring. After the climb, we will get an incredible view of Harney Peak on our 7 mile descent into Hill City prior to riding the last 3 miles to the Crooked Creek Resort south of Hill City where a swimming pool, hot tub, and hot showers await our arrival. The evening's catered dinner will be served in the pavilion near our camp sites.

After topping out at the entrance to Crazy Horse, we will descend 6 miles of one of the prettiest sections of the trail to the Custer City Park for a picnic lunch. Following lunch, the trail transitions from granite outcroppings to more open meadows and vistas. In 18.5 miles with 3 miles of gentle climbing, we will get off the trail to be shuttled 2 miles to Charms Country Cabins 6 miles south of Pringle.
