This is a very short walk from our house and one of the most popular restaurants in the area. You will probably need a reservation, Sunday Brunch is spectacular. Guests usually dress up a little and it's not the cheapest place in town to grab a bite to eat but it might be the best.

One of our favorite hikes. It's about a 30 minute drive just on the other side of Saluda. Parking area is for both Big Bradley and Little Bradley. Drive to the end of parking area, cross over the bridge and park on the right if possible to access trail. Take the short climb straight up to find the trail, do not follow the rivers edge. The falls are a 1.8 mile moderate hike, with not much climbing. There are two places where you have to cross the streams by stepping across on rocks. You might get your feet wet.

Tubing the Lower Green River near Saluda is a very popular local attraction. The water flow on the Green River is a schedule release and typically early afternoon is when the flow gets to the Lower Green so you might want to give them a call to confirm river level.
