Cherokee County Highpoint Trip Report
Thicketty Mtn (1,260 ft)
Date: September 23, 2006
Author: Jim Burriss
Directions: From Greenville SC take I-85 North to Highway 11 (exit 92).
Go left (west) on Highway 11 for 6.9 miles to a flashing light. Turn left onto
Daniel Morgan School Road and go approximately 0.5 mile to the stop sign.
Turn left onto Old Metal Road. Go approximately 0.25 mile and turn right onto
Thicketty Mountain Trail. This is a gravel road but is well graded.
Follow Thicketty Mountain Trail approximately 0.5 mile to the top.
Summit: There is a small gravel area in front of the fenced radio towers where
you can park. The BM is located 10 feet from the fence on the right as you
drive up Thicketty Mountain Trail. There is a trail that goes off to the right
from the BM. I do not know where it goes. There is a limited view to the north
from Thicketty Mountain through a small "cut" in the trees (possibly for
powerlines or road).
Notes: I have used approximately for distances due to the trip meter being only
accurate to 0.1 mile. These distances will be within 0.1 mile and in most cases
within 0.05 mile.
