Charleston, of course, was on our list of must-visit cities. It was easy to see why Southern Living has crowned it the South’s Best City five out of six times. Back in the 17th century, Charleston was the wealthiest town in the South, and that rich history is still evident today in its stunning historic homes, churches, and other buildings. The city has a vibrant, welcoming energy.

Charleston - Day 2
We returned to the park for an additional hike the same afternoon, again enjoying the sunny weather. We hiked an easy 3-mile loop through hardwood and pine forests and wetlands over dirt paths and boardwalks.

We noticed Aiken State Park’s artesian wells. An artesian well is another of Mother Nature’s wonders: cold water keeps flowing through the surface through natural pressure. These wells are filling the park’s lakes, no pumping is needed. We also stopped at a viewpoint to see the Edisto River, North America’s longest free-flowing blackwater river, for some nice views.
