Day Trip from Atlanta | Sunrise at Fred Symmes Chapel, SC
Fred W. Symmes Chapel—also known as "Pretty Place"—perches on a cliff within Jones Gap State Park, South Carolina. It’s an ideal spot for watching sunrise and sunset 🌅🌇. Important Prep Tip Always check the chapel’s official website for its schedule and public opening hours before you go—it’s often booked for private events (like weddings), so availability can change! The top of the mountain is super windy, and the morning temperature is quite low—dress warmly! We even saw many Americans dragging blankets on the ground to stay cozy 😂😂. Our Stay Hack When we visited, all nearby hotels were fully booked, so we stayed in Greenville instead. It’s about a 1-hour drive from the chapel—totally manageable! #Sunset #GreatDayTripSpots #MostBeautifulSunset #WatchASunsetOnce #Atlanta #LifeInAtlanta #FoodAndFunInAtlanta #LifeInUSA
