Some Big Rocks on Big Rock Mountain!
 
I had a wonderful solo hike around Big Rock Mountain and the Nine Times Forest Preserve in Pickens County, SC.  I did a nice 9 mile loop which included many of the Big Rock Mountain climbing areas, Cedar Rock Mountain, and some seldom visited areas of the Nine Times Forest!
 
GPS Track from my hike
Read and click the warning below for interactive link
 Most of the waypoints are intersections I marked for future exploration
 
Warning #2:   Most of the Nine Times Forest is a SC Wildlife Management Area where hunting is allowed.  I highly recommend staying safe and wearing an orange hat!
 
Staying Safe as I enter Nine Time Forest

I did not see or hear any hunting activity and the only other humans I saw were around the popular rock climbing areas on the south side of Big Rock Mountain.

Here are some of my favorite photos from my hike:
