The Palmetto Trail is South Carolina’s “long trail.” Established in 1994, the trail is planned to run about 500 miles from Walhalla in the Blue Ridge Mountains to Awendaw on the coast. Divided into Passages, it’s still a work in progress with several incomplete sections. Currently, there are about 380 miles of completed trails. The red line is the planned trail and the orange are the sections I’ve completed (some more than once!). More updates to come. Some of the passages I’ve hiked only parts of, as I finish them I’ll update more
