Enjoy one of the best scenic drives in America
As it winds its way through South Carolina’s northwest corner, Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway offers the beautiful scenery that make it one of the best scenic drives in America.
Following the southernmost peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the 115 mile Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway is surrounded with peach orchards, quaint villages and parks. It is an ideal alternative to I-85. It has been featured by such publications as National Geographic, Rand McNally and Southern Living, and many consider it one of the best scenic drives in America.
The Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway has it all. This highway has history, culture, recreational opportunities and scenery, all of which are incomparable. However, on SC Highway 11, everything comes back to the natural features. They were the main attraction for early settlers at the time of the Revolution and continue to be the draw today. These natural features include miles of parkland trails, unique mountains and wonderful flora and fauna.
