Sassafras Mountain

Head to Sassafras Mountain, South Carolina’s highest peak.

The views don’t get much better than this. Sassafras Mountain is the state’s highest peak at approximately 3,556 feet tall, and it’s a perfect place to soak in the alluring artistry of nature’s color palette. The mountain opened a new viewing platform in April 2019, which gives 360-degree views of the neighboring mountains in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Put it on your leaf-peeping list!
