Hey there Reader,
Some people call Congaree National Park “underwhelming” or "the worst National Park". I think it's because they go in comparing it to Yosemite Valley or Yellowstone's geysers.
We just spent a long weekend exploring this South Carolina National Park with Toby and Lily and I don't think they could have been more wrong.
While it's true that Congaree doesn't have mountain tops or coastlines, it does have "Champion Trees" (the tallest trees in the eastern U.S.), floodplains and happens to be one of the most dog-friendly parks we’ve ever visited.
We hiked along the popular Boardwalk Loop Trail, checked out the Firefly Trail (our dog Lily got nervous on the boardwalk) and walked above some of the flooded forest areas. All without running into many mosquitoes (yay!!) It was a quiet trip and walk through the forest.
