StopSouth Carolina
Aunt Sue's Country Corner
South Carolina
A beloved roadside complex at 107 Country Creek Drive in Pickens, just off SC-11 between Caesars Head and Table Rock State Parks, two miles east of Table Rock. The property includes a Southern comfort-food restaurant, an ice cream parlor, a pizza shop, and a cluster of retail shops in a country-village setting. Owner Teresa Lewis has operated the property for over 20 years, and it has become a well-known refueling stop for riders looping the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway. The location at the foot of Table Rock puts it directly on the most popular motorcycle day-ride route in the Upstate. Open seasonally; hours vary by season.

Caesars Head State Park Overlook
South Carolina
Atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment at 3,200 feet, the Caesars Head State Park overlook delivers one of the widest panoramas in the Upstate — sweeping views extend into North Carolina and Georgia on clear days, taking in Table Rock, Sassafras Mountain, and the Dismal Forest. The rocky granitic-gneiss outcrop that gives the park its name is a two-minute walk from the visitor center parking lot on US-276 (Geer Highway). The overlook is also the premier raptor-watching perch in the region: thousands of hawks, eagles, and vultures funnel past the escarpment edge each fall (September–November). The visitor center has trail maps, a small gift shop, and restrooms. Park hours are 9 a.m. to sunset; admission is charged per vehicle.
