The Carolinas are home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. The following are a few of the best places to visit in the southeast.

1. Table Rock State Park

At the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Pickens County, Table Rock State Park is home to Pinnacle Mountain, the tallest in the state of South Carolina. You'll never be bored at Table Rock with activities ranging from boating to hiking to bird watching.

2. Mount Mitchell State Park

Mount Mitchell State Park in Yancey County was established as the first state park in North Carolina in 1915. With 1,996 acres of park land and 6,684 foot-high Mount Mitchell being the highest peak east of the Mississippi, this Asheville area state park is not one to miss.

3. Stone Mountain State Park

Stone Mountain Sate Park extends from Allegheny to Wilkes County in North Carolina below the Blue Ridge Parkway. 18 miles of trails and over 20 miles of designated trout waters offer endless opportunities for fun this summer.

4. Fred W. Symmes Chapel (Pretty Place)

Cleveland, South Carolina is home to the serene oasis of Fred W. Symmes Chapel, or as the locals call it, Pretty Place. The chapel was constructed in 1941 and can be reserved for weddings and other special events. When planning your trip to Pretty Place, try to make it an early one so you can watch the sun rise over the hills of South Carolina.

5. Twin Falls

Also in Pickens County, Twin Falls offers an easy hike into the Eastatoe Creek Gorge with views of gorgeous waterfalls and a trip that just about anyone can handle.

6. Paris Mountain State Park

In the beautiful and rapidly-growing city of Greenville, Paris Mountain State Park was once a rural retreat but is now bustling year-round. Activities like fishing or pedal boat rentals are always available as an alternative to hiking or biking trails.

7. Poinsett State Park

Sumter County is home to the "mountains of the midlands" in the South Carolina Sandhills region. What separates this park from the rest are the stunning botanical oddities that consume the area.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
