Sassafras Mountain, South Carolina lies at 3,533 feet MSL and is ranked #29 in elevation among US Highpoints. This would be my 17th highpoint of 2004. Sassafras was my third highpoint of the day and another drive-up. Located on the border with North Carolina, the summit is the highest point on the ridge and now has a viewing platform located on top. It wasn’t real obvious what the physical highpoint was, so I tramped around and took photos by the benchmark and on top of some tall boulders.
From here I would drive to and hike Kuwohi, Tennessee
How come some benchmarks have the triangle with the dot in the center and others don’t?
