Just because it is cold outside does not mean you should not get out and enjoy it. A wintertime hike is a great way to warm up and burn some of the extra calories we have consumed during our holiday revelry. Plus, with the leaves off the trees and maybe some ice on the lakes, even your most frequented trails can look completely different in colder temperatures. With Paris Mountain State Park only minutes from Downtown Greenville, there are a ton of trails to explore without having to travel too far from home. With all the stress and congestion that the holiday season often brings, escaping into the woods is a perfect respite from December's hustle and bustle.
