Caesars-Head is a state park located in the northwest portion of the state, near the North Carolina border. Caesars Head, along with Jones Gap State Park and other wildlife preserves in upper Greenville County, create the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. At 3,266 feet above sea level and with more than 50 miles of hiking trails, from easy to strenuous, Caesars Head offers breathtaking panoramas of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and secluded green valleys of the region. Raven Cliff Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern U.S. is located inside the park, and mountain fishing is excellent in the Middle Saluda River. Other activities in Caesars Head include wildlife viewing, camping and picnicking, plus the park is a "Discover Carolina Site," which provides curriculum-based science programs for school children. Wildflowers bloom in profusion throughout the park making it a photographer's dream. A Visitors Information Center and Gift Shop houses exhibits of the area attractions and has relief maps of the Mountain Bridge trails systems along with a variety of gifts and souvenir items. Park hours are Monday through Sunday 9:00a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with extended hours during daylight savings time. Also during daylight savings time the trails close one hour before sunset. Directions to Caesars Head from Greenville, South Carolina are Highway 276 West for about 30 miles. The Park is located at the top of the mountain right off the Highway.

Caesars Head Weather & Climate

The Southwestern Mountains of North Carolina ranges from 800 feet to over 6,600 feet in elevation and the topography definitely affects the local weather. Expect temperatures to be 10 to 20 degrees cooler on the mountaintops than in the valleys below. Spring is unpredictable, particularly at the higher elevations. Snow may fall in March, but by May, things warm up with daytime highs in the 80s. Summer is warm and humid, but more pleasant at the higher elevations, with frequent afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Winter is generally moderate, but more extreme conditions can occur at the mountain peaks. Large snow amounts and severe low temperatures are rare away from the highest peaks. Ski resorts usually rely on snowmaking equipment to ensure a good base. In general, the climate is not extreme, and supports year round activities.
