We are doing the Andrews Valley rail tour on Saturday evening and are hoping to make a day of it. What hikes and/or other activities would you suggest in the area? We would be coming from Spartanburg if that helps. We'd prefer something closer to Andrews as we haven't really explored the area. Preferably an easy to moderate trail of under 5 miles, but open to longer/harder if there is something fantastic about it. We'd really appreciate any suggestions!!

I will be visiting Grandfather Mountain this weekend and would love to find this sign that my own grandfather posed in front of years ago. Can anyone tell me if this sign still exists and where to find it? I tried an image search but couldn’t find an actual location.
